Javascript
JavaScript
JavaScript is a programming language written by Brendan Eich which can be embedded in Web pages and can process numbers and modify the contents of forms. While in development, JavaScript had been known as Mocha, then LiveWire, then LiveScript. Its core script syntax closely resembled Java, so it was finally renamed JavaScript when it was released.
It is a programming language which makes web pages interactive. It runs on the visitor's computer and hence does not require constant downloads from any web site. It does not need a separate compiler to run, as it is embedded in the internet browser by default. JavaScript supports all the structured programming syntax (e.g., if statements, while loops, switch statements, etc.). One partial exception is scoping. C-style block-level scoping is not supported (instead, JavaScript has function-level scoping). JavaScript is currently being used as an essential language to create interactive website globally.
Basic knowledge of HTML serves as an added advantage, as it makes the user more comfortable with JavaScript. This set of tutorials will cover features and usage of JavaScript (version 1.8.x). Please see the associated text box of individual spoken tutorials on the website to decide the versions of JavaScript and OS to which it is applicable.
Spoken Tutorials on JavaScript is being worked upon by Manpreet Singh Anand and Bharat Ghimire from Acharya Narendra Dev College, Delhi University,Govindpuri, Delhi.
