12. A Brief History Of JavaScript | JavaScript Complete Tutorials

1br 00:00:02,180 -- 00:00:05,000br So now did we know what javascript is and where it runs.br br 2br 00:00:05,030 -- 00:00:12,060br Let's have a very brief overview of the jobs good history so that you know how it evolved over time.br br 3br 00:00:12,110 -- 00:00:20,310br In 1995 Netscape introduces life script which thereafter was renamed to JavaScript.br br 4br 00:00:20,360 -- 00:00:27,050br Now in 1996 Microsoft also released its own words of JavaScript and Internet Explorer.br br 5br 00:00:27,050 -- 00:00:32,280br So same idea generally same syntax but also differences.br br 6br 00:00:32,360 -- 00:00:33,780br So we already had a issue there.br br 7br 00:00:33,830 -- 00:00:37,200br Back then jobs good all the wasn't able to do a lot of things.br br 8br 00:00:37,250 -- 00:00:43,130br It was mainly used for a spammy things for four annoying overlays and pop ups.br br 9br 00:00:43,130 -- 00:00:49,550br But another problem was that you had to write very different scripts for different browsers.br br 10br 00:00:49,550 -- 00:00:54,690br In late 1996 people saw that this fragmentation could be a problem.br br 11br 00:00:54,830 -- 00:01:01,940br And therefore javascript the language was submitted to the Atma committee to start standardization.br br 12br 00:01:01,940 -- 00:01:07,420br This simply is an organization which will stand responsible for standardizing javascript.br br 13br 00:01:07,460 -- 00:01:12,890br So did you have one standard which then could be implemented by multiple browsers so that we had ongoingbr br 14br 00:01:12,890 -- 00:01:16,390br standardization efforts until 2005 roughly.br br 15br 00:01:16,460 -- 00:01:24,050br And Microsoft did really join the party well we know how Microsoft was in the late 90s early 2000s ultimatelybr br 16br 00:01:24,050 -- 00:01:26,710br they supported the standardized jobs could worsen.br br 17br 00:01:26,780 -- 00:01:33,290br Still there were differences but we had a more common way of using JavaScript.br br 18br 00:01:33,320 -- 00:01:39,740br Now the efforts of standardization continue and we had huge progress until 2011 I'd say.br br 19br 00:01:39,980 -- 00:01:46,340br And Microsoft eventually choice for says and became part of the standardization process and of contributingbr br 20br 00:01:46,340 -- 00:01:51,380br to building that standard and adding new features because that's important.br br 21br 00:01:51,410 -- 00:01:53,400br My timeline ends here.br br 22br 00:01:53,500 -- 00:01:56,480br Development of JavaScript absolutely does not.br br 23br 00:01:56,480 -- 00:02:04,070br I would say especially since 2010 11 it really picked up and it is under active development.br br 24br 00:02:04,130 -- 00:02:07,100br It's evolving new features are getting added.br br 25br 00:02:07,100 -- 00:02:14,480br It's getting a better and better programming language and was it was quite clunky around 2006 and 7br br 26br 00:02:14,480 -- 00:02:21,480br and despite standardization every browsers still did its own thing in some regards.
