JavaScript
Here is a brief introduction to JavaScript as used on the front end.
Introduction #
JavaScript is the web scripting language developed by Netscape. It is the most popular programming language in the world today. The language was standardized to ECMAScript, as a cross-platform Internet standard for scripting, but it is still most commonly called JavaScript.
