Java continues to be the most in-demand language that also acts as a
standard platform for enterprises and several mobile and games
developers across the world. The app has been designed in such a way
that it works across several types of platforms. This means that if a
program is written on Mac Operating system then it can also run on
Windows based operating systems.
Java, when it was designed originally, was developed for interactive
television, but the developers realized that this language and
technology was way too forward for this industry. It was only later that
it was incorporated into the use it serves today.
Every language is created with a certain mission, goal or objective
in mind. The following are the 5 major principles or goals that were
kept in mind during the creation of this language:
- It must be a secure and robust programming language
- It must be an object-oriented, simple language which becomes familiar soon.
- It must be capable of being implemented and executed with high performance.
- It must be threaded, dynamic and interpreted.
- It must be portable and architecture-neutral.
JavaScript is also the one of the most popular and dynamic programming
languages used for creating and developing websites. This language is
capable of achieving several things including controlling the browser,
editing content on a document that has been displayed, allowing
client-side scripts to communicate with users and also asynchronous
communication. It was developed by Netscape and borrows a lot of its
syntax from C language. JavaScript is used very widely and effectively
in creating desktop applications as well as for developing games.
One of the best things about JavaScript for you as a developer or a
website owner is that this is one of the few programming languages that
are accepted and supported by all the major browsers without the need of
any compilers or plug-ins. It can also be worked with on platforms that
are not web-based, for example-desktop widgets and PDF docs. This is a
multi-paradigm language which means that it has a combination of
features. Also, JavaScript supports functional and object-oriented
programming styles.
