Javascript - hix.dev

JavaScript is one of the fundamental technologies of the World Wide Web that allows you to add interactivity to a website.

Javascript language

According to JavaScript official website:

Javascript (often shortened to JS)

is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented language with first-class functions, and is best known as the scripting language for Web pages, but it’s used in many non-browser environments as well.

JavaScript was invented in 1995. It was developed for Netscape 2, and became the ECMA-262 standard in 1997. The standards are further developed, and new syntax elements are introduced with subsequent editions.

Frameworks

NPM

The free npm Registry has become the center of JavaScript code sharing. Relied upon by more than 11 million developers worldwide, npm is committed to making JavaScript development elegant, productive, and safe.

Brendan Eich

Eich’s superiors instructed him to create a language that closely resembled Java, but was lightweight and more approachable to non- professionals. He created Javascript in just 10 days and called it ‘silly little brother language’.

Styleguides

ESLint

ESLint is a tool for identifying and reporting on patterns found in ECMAScript/JavaScript code. It statically analyzes with the goal of making code more consistent and avoiding bugs.
