Javascript Note


When the World Wide Web is born, it used basic letters, numbers or images. Today after few decades, with a lot of websites, blogs, social networks and other interesting websites to look for, it is growing much fast. We no longer use only letters, numbers or images.

Javascript belongs to the paradigm of creating interactive websites. Javascript is a client-side programming language.

What is a client side programming language?

A client-side programming language doesn't have to refresh the webpage or uses web server to retrieve information regarding the website. Most modern browsers understand this language.

For an example, take the login form of popular websites, the form checks itself whether it a valid email address or not without loading the page or sending information to the server. A multiplication can be instantly made within a website without loading the page. And there are a lot more uses and examples we can see in the following days.
