The low-down on JavaScript
Article by Nigel Robinson
Brief History
JavaScript first emerged in 1996 and was a programming language written by Brendan Eich for Netscape. Initially, it was developed so the code could be embedded in Web pages so it could process numbers and modify the contents of forms. Over the years, the use of JavaScript code has increased exponentially and is now used in a great many ways, including image manipulation and mouse-over effects etc. Although it is now such a popular programming language in it’s own right, there are few minor niggles and issues to be aware of.
Advantages
Speed – because all the code resides on what is known as the ‘client-side’, response times are fast. The alternative to client-side is known as ‘server-side’ and this involves your computer having to wait for a response from a command or instruction to a computer server somewhere out on the Web.
Simplicity – JavaScript as a computer language is not too difficult to learn and there are stacks of resources available on the Internet to help you. It is also possible to download masses of high quality code example free-of-charge and this can help you to reduce time demands and also to assist you in understanding the language dynamics.
Versatility – Unlike PHP and SSI scripts for example, JavaScript is highly co-operative with other computer languages and can be used in conjunction with a great many applications. Another good thing about JavaScript is that it can be inserted in any web page irrespective of your chosen extension (e.g.htm,.html &.php etc.).
Load on servers – Because it is client-side, there is no demand placed on the server where the website resides.
Disadvantages
Security – An important consideration is that because the JavaScript code is executed on the user’s computer, there is a chance of it being exploited in a malicious way. For this reason, some people cautiously disable JavaScript from operating on their computer. This is not the major consideration, but it is worth bearing in mind as you develop Web applications.
Browser incompatibility – An ongoing problem is that JavaScript can be interpreted in different ways by the various browsers. The most important thing is that you verify the operation of your JavaScript code in the major browsers and do not get too hung up about the rest.

It is good however WAY to fast! Slower audio is needed with pauses in-between each section.
@bevisponcho I’ve improved all of my new videos based on similar comments. I got a better microphone, eliminated music, made the videos more interactive, etc. Check out my JavaScript Video Tutorial and provide more ways I can improve. I welcome your view. Thanks
Really great content, organized well etc, but…. the audio is too compressed and the voice just runs on and on in a monotone faction.. Just like listening to a computer talking.
. PAUSE ONCE IN AWHILE, and the horrid music loop is boring and distracting
@studderabcd I’m glad you like them
I’m just doing my best to provide a free education online. Over the past year my tutorials have been improving and I hope you find them useful as well. Thanks for taking the time to show your appreciation
May I call you Derek? This is so so brilliant stuff and I am sad i couldn’t find it a bit earlier! I am paying my tribute to you! The quality of the videos is splendid and you are providing all this for free while you can quite easily make thousands of dollars if you wish to sell them! You bought immense charm to programming tutorials with those sleek and superb graphics! simply mind blowing! I owe you a lot and hope I could repay someday!
Long Live Sir!
if your new to coding like me … . . this might sound like jibberish
@etidd88 Thank you
check out the video series I did called JavaScript video tutorial for my newest JavaScript tutorial. It’s more up to date and interactive
You are awesome!
@derekbanas will do!
@maskda2 I’m glad you liked it. Check out my JavaScript video tutorial if you want a more hands on tutorial with more examples.
awesome man
@Jugdesi Thanks
I’m 100% book taught. I never could afford college, so that’s why I created all of these tutorials. It’s kind of free education for all. I’ll eventually get into all of the other things that are supposedly hard to learn like calculus, physics, investing, etc.
I am learning JavaScript and man your well taught.
Very good guide. Really like how you explain it. Thanks.
@stormbytes I cover just about everything you can do with JavaScript and then move into AJAX and JQuery. If you work through them you’ll know pretty much everything. If you need any help or have any questions on these tutorials just send me a note. Thanks
Oh wow… AWESOME tutorial. Totally kept my attention. Your pace rocks, but, it should be pointed out that this is a terrific js tut for those who already know other programming languages (can’t speak for the other segments as I haven’t watched them yet.)
