Summary

Javascript is used in billions of web pages and is one of the easiest languages to learn with little to no prior programming experience or knowledge of OOP concepts.

Javascript's first implementation was way back in 1995 as a variant of ECMAScript.

Being a scripting language, it is mostly client-side, and used with other, more powerful languages.

Javascript is mostly used for User interfaces, and things like that, but it can also be used to do other things outside of a browser.
