JavaScript is a scripting language, a simple programming language with its syntax based on Java. It was developed to enhance the functionality of web pages. Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the primary language for publishing on the World Wide Web. However, it is a markup language rather than a programming language, and offers limited functionality. This course provides a basic overview of JavaScript. You’ll learn to write and run scripts within a web page from a separate file, creating scrolling messages and write a script that acts upon user response.
