Learn Javascript – A few things to Remember

Now that you have learned the first step of JavaScript, it is time for some further improvement by checking out the following features and vital elements of the language.

1. JavaScript was originally known as LiveScript, and then as ECMAScript.
2. The JavaScript file extension is .js
3. JavaScript can be placed in the body, the head, both, or an external file — in which case you place the link in the head section.
4. JavaScript is case sensitive. For example, JAvascript, javascRipT and javascript are all different.
5. JavaScript is a client-side scripting language, meaning it can’t directly interact with the server.
6. JavaScript is complementarily implemented with HTML, alongside other languages.
7. JavaScript is one of the most primary, lightweight and fastest programming languages available.

So, with these basics, we can move on to the next chapter, where we look at variables, data types and other conventions of JavaScript.
