History


JavaScript was created by Brenden Eich.
It is a main coding language used by most mainstream sites.
It was invented in 1995 in a matter of 10 days. It has no
relation to the Java language and was named JavaScript to capitalize off
Java being one of the most popular languages at that time. It
was invented by Brandon Eich while he was working on Netscape Navigator,
which is in California. He invented this language to accommodate
for a up and coming web browser named Netscape Navigator.
In 1995, JavaScript was adopted by microsoft
after being reverse engineered for Internet Explorer.
Widespread adoption of Internet Explorer led to JavaScript
becoming standardized across the internet.
Later on in the 2000s, Several JavaScript frameworks
were developed, including Node.js and React, as well
Electron.js for applications.
