JavaScript Tutorial

     HTML is a good base for any website. However, it has many limitations. To create a truly modern website, you need a more powerful programming language. JavaScript was created for that purpose. The following lessons assume you already know basic HTML skills. These lessons will teach you JavaScript in a few days.

     JavaScript is a programming language that was created by Netscape to add on to HTML. JavaScript is related to Java, in the sense that they both are a C-based language. But Java was created by Sun Microsystems and is much more complex. Because JavaScript was created by Netscape, it works slightly better with their browsers than with others. However, Internet Explorer 4.0 and higher will work fine. JavaScript was designed to be a more powerful programming language than HTML, so that websites could be interactive and have more features. It succeeds in all these facets. JavaScript allows your website to interact with and respond to your visitors. This creates a more enjoyable atmosphere in your site, and promotes more visitors. It can also create amazing effects on your page, and in the hands of an expert, can even be used to program games!
