Presentation - JavaScript

JavaScript, created by Brendan Eich in 1995, has evolved from a simple scripting language for interactivity to a fundamental technology for web development. It became an ECMA standard in 1997 and has since seen significant advancements, including the introduction of libraries like jQuery and frameworks like React and Angular. Key features include client-side scripting, event-driven programming, and asynchronous capabilities, making it essential for creating dynamic web applications.

History of JavaScript
JavaScript has a fascinating history that dates back to the mid-1990s.
 In 1995, Brendan Eich, a programmer at Netscape, created JavaScript in just 10 days.
JavaScript initially called "Mocha," it was meant to add interactivity to websites.
 In 1996, JavaScript goes live and debuted in Netscape Navigator 2.0.
JavaScript allowed developers to create dynamic web pages.
 In 1997, JavaScript became an ECMA standard (ECMAScript).
This ensured cross-browser compatibility.
 In Early 2000s, JavaScript adoption grew slowly due to browser wars and security concerns.
 In 2005 Ajax Revolution, Ajax(Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) transformed web development.
Dynamic updates on page without page reloads became possible.
 In 2006, jQuery, a popular library, made JavaScript easier to use.
 In 2009, Node.js allowed JavaScript to run on servers, not just only on browsers.
 In 2010, React, Angular, and Vue.js transformed front-end development.
 Today JavaScript is used by most websites and mobile apps and JavaScript is a fundamental language for web
development.
Introduction of JavaScript
 JavaScript is a versatile, high level programming language that is primarily used to create interactive websites and
dynamic web pages.
 It was originally developed in the mid of 1990s by Brendan Eich at Netscape and has since become the core
technology of Web development.
 JavaScript is a powerful language that forms the backbone of web development.
 Mastering its concepts allows you to create interactive and dynamic web applications.

Key Features of JavaScript


• Client-Side Scripting
• Dynamic and Interactive
• Event-Driven
• Object-Oriented
• Cross-Platform
• Asynchronous Programming
Core Concepts of JavaScript
1. Variables & Data types
JavaScript supports several data types, including
• Primitive data types:- string, number, Boolean, null, undefined and symbol.
• Non-primitive types:- array, object(key-value pair) and function.
2. Control flow
JavaScript provides control structures such as:
• Conditional Statements:- if, else if, else, switch
• Loops:- for, while, do…while, for…in, for…of and foreach.
3. Functions
In JavaScript we have two types of functions are:-
• Functions
• Arrow functions
Core Concepts of JavaScript

4. Objects
JavaScript uses objects to store keyed collections of various data and more complex entities:
const person = {
name: "Alice",
age: 30,
greet: function() {console.log("Hello!");} };

5. Arrays
Arrays are generally described as "list-like objects"; they are basically single objects that
contain multiple values stored in a list:
const colors = ["red", "green", "blue"];
console.log(colors[0]);
Core Concepts of JavaScript

6. DOM Manipulation

JavaScript can interact with HTML and CSS through the Document Object Model (DOM). This allows you to
dynamically change content and styles.
document.getElementById("myElement").innerHTML = "New Content";

7. Event Handling

JavaScript can respond to user events such as clicks, key presses, and mouse movements.
Events in JavaScript are:
• Mouse Events (click, dblclick, mouseover, mouseup etc.)
• Keyboard Events (keydown, keyup, keypress)
• Form Events (submit, change, focus, blur)
• Windows Events (load, resize, scroll)
Core Concepts of JavaScript

8. Asynchronous Programming

JavaScript supports asynchronous programming through callbacks, Promises, and async/await:


• Callbacks
• Promises
function doSomething() {
return new Promise((resolve) => {
setTimeout(() => {
// Other things to do before completion of the promise
console.log("Did something");
// The fulfillment value of the promise
resolve("https://example.com/");
}, 200);
});
}
• asyn/await
