JavaScript is one of the oldest programmable web language which was created by Netscape Communications Corporation during the early 1990s while the company was developing a new Navigator web browser. Brendan Eich, a programmer from Netscape communications group, was assigned the responsibility of coming up with a scripting language, that would allow developers to extend the capabilities of a Web page. It was released in 1995 and named LiveScript, but because Java was gaining much popularity at the time, the creators of the language decided to rename it to JavaScript.

Netscape Navigator 2.0 was developed in 1995 with the help of JavaScript. This was a big leap towards the future of using themes in the web since it was now possible to design hooks that could create new web content based on the kind of input from the user.

Javascript has evolved with time and has been integrated at every corner of the internet and is one of the most used languages.
