Javascript summary
The lessons in this section have taught you about Javascript - an interactive and dynamic scripting language used on webpages.
The lessons included information on what Javascript is, how to use variables, how to use functions, how to use built-in Javascript objects as well as your own objects, and more.
Javascript is a scripting language developed by Netscape used to provide dynamic and interactive content on webpages. It is one of the first scripting languages in existence and today is the most popular scripting language on the web. Javascript works in all modern web browsers including Firefox, Netscape, Opera, and Internet Explorer.
NOTE: Don't forget that Javascript and Java are two separate languages!!
What's next?
The next step is to learn VBScript.
At this time, you should already know HTML and/or XHTML, as well as CSS, and Javascript. Learning web development follows a logical progression - first you should learn how to build webpages (HTML/XHTML), then you should learn how to specify the appearance, layout, and overall design of webpages (CSS) then you can move on to building dynamic and interactive content for webpages (Javascript), then you should learn another language used for building dynamic and interactive content for webpages(VBScript).
Learning VBScript will help you gain knowledge and experience in building dynamic and interactive web content in a language other than Javascript.
VBScript is short for Visual Basic Scripting Edition. VBScript is a lighter version of the Visual Basic programming language, and like Visual Basic, VBScript was developed by Microsoft.
VBScript was designed by Microsoft to work in Internet Explorer and browsers based on Internet Explorer's engine such as Flashpeak's SlimBrowser.
