Introduction to JavaScript

JavaScript is a scripting or programming language that allows you to implement complex features on web pages. It is one of the core technologies of the World Wide Web, alongside HTML and CSS. This lesson covers the history of JavaScript, from its creation at Netscape as "Mocha" to its standardization as ECMAScript. We will explore its role in web development for creating dynamic and interactive user experiences, and guide you through writing and executing your first script using a browser's developer console and a simple HTML file.
