JavaScript (aka ECMAScript) is unrelated to, and has different syntax than Java. JavaScript has been in constant, regular development since its first stable release in 1995. It was originally designed by Brendan Eich while working for Netscape Communications Corporation. Scripts written in JavaScript are executed on the client-side in the browser, as opposed to the server-side with PHP scripts. JavaScript is regarded as a prototype-based scripting language with dynamic typing and first-class functions – which makes it multi-paradigm language supporting objects, data structures and functional programming styles.
Its most common use is to add client-side behavior to webpages. Scripts are included in the .html and are able to interact with the Document Object Model (DOM) of the page. Consequently, JavaScript can modify any element of a webpage and can even enable asynchronous communication with the server allowing for loading new page content or submitting data without having to reload the page itself (via AJAX requests). Because JavaScript is executed on the client-side, applications can respond to user actions much more responsively. Most robust User Interfaces (UIs) of web-applications are written in JavaScript, such as Google Gmail.
Whether you are in media design, computer science or software engineering, JavaScript is a ubiquitous technology in web-development.
