Javascript: Javascript is an object-oriented-programming language commonly used to “make webpages alive”.
History: When javascript created, it initially had another name: “LiveScript”. But as it evolved, JavaScript became a fully independent language, with its own specification called ECMAScript.
Modern Javascript can do…
The modern javascript is safe and secure programming language. It does not provide low-level access to memory or CPU’s, because it was initially created for browsers. Modern javascript can do anything related to webpage manipulation interaction with the user and the webserver.
- Add new HTML to the webpage, change the existing content, modify styles.
- React to user action like click, key press, pointer movement, mouse clicks.
- Send request to the remote servers, download and uploads files with the help of AJAX and COMET technologies.
- Note the data on the client-side or local storage.
What cant javascript in browsers…
- Javascript is not safe for private data like user payment inforamation and so on.
- The javascript on a webpage may not read and write from the hard disk there is no option to direct access files.
- Modern browser allow to work with the files, but the access is limited, a file into a browser window or selecting via an <input> tag.
What make javascript unique:

These three things combined only in javascript and no other browser technology.
