    JavaScript, the right way

    Found this gem and learned quite a bit about JavaScript. Great for both experienced and new engineers who are still learning the ropes. Enjoy! 🙂

    A bit of history about JS:

    “Created by Netscape in 1995 as an extension of HTML for Netscape Navigator 2.0, JavaScript had as its main function the manipulation of HTML documents and form validation.”

    “Before winning this name so famous nowadays, JavaScript was called Mocha. When it first shipped in beta releases, it was officially called LiveScript and finally, when it was released by Sun Microsystems, was baptized with the name by which it is known today.”

    “Because of the similar names, people confuse JavaScript with Java. Although both have the lexical structure of programming, they are not the same language. Different from C, C# and Java, JavaScript is an interpreted language. It means that it needs an “interpreter”. In case of JavaScript, the interpreter is the browser.”
