 He is an American computer
programmer and technology
executive.

 He created the JavaScript

programming language and
 co-founded the Mozilla
project.
 JavaScript
(Founded on 4 Dec 1995)

JavaScript often abbreviated as JS, is a programming language

that conforms to the ECMAScript specification.

 JavaScript is high-level language.

 It has dynamic typing.

 Has prototype based object orientation.

 Has first class functions.

 Ecma Script

 JavaScript is an implementation of the ECMAScript

standard.

 The ECMAScript only defines the syntax/characteristics

of the language.

 A basic set of commonly used objects such as Number,

Date, Regular Expression, etc.

Web Applications
JavaScript Frameworks
React.js
React is a free and open-source
front-end JavaScript library for
building user interfaces based
on UI components.
It is maintained by Meta and a
community of individual
developers and companies.
Front-End
Angular.js
AngularJS is a JavaScript-
based open-source front-end
web framework for developing
single-page applications.
It is maintained mainly by
Google and a community of
individuals and corporations.
Vue.js
Vue.js is an open-source model–
view front end JavaScript
framework for building user
interfaces and single-page
applications.
It was created by Evan You, and
is maintained by him and the rest
of the active core team members.
 Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform, back-end
JavaScript runtime environment that runs on the V8
engine and executes JavaScript code outside a web
browser.

 It is used for creating server-side and networking web

applications.

 Node.js is mostly used to run real-time server

applications.
 Back-End framework

 Express is a minimal and flexible Node.js web

application framework that provides a robust set of
features for web and mobile applications.

 With a myriad of HTTP utility methods and

middleware at your disposal, creating a robust API is
quick and easy.
Here is how PHP or ASP handles a file request:

1.Sends the task to the computer's file system.

2.Waits while the file system opens and reads the file.
3.Returns the content to the client.
4.Ready to handle the next request.

Here is how Node.js handles a file request:

5.Sends the task to the computer's file system.

6.Ready to handle the next request.
7.When the file system has opened and read the file, the server
returns the content to the client.

Node.js eliminates the waiting, and simply continues with the

next request.
Mobile Applications

React Native is an open-source UI

software framework created by Meta
Platforms, Inc. It is used to develop
applications for Android, ios, Android
TV.
TensorFlow.js is an open-source JavaScript
library built by Google Brain gathering. It
drives hardware acceleration with its complete
and flexible variety of tools.

Due to its deep learning layers and

comprehensive linear algebra, this library has
become the bread and butter for all JavaScript
projects based on Machine Learning.

Synaptic is a well-known JavaScript neural

network library created by MIT that can be used
with Node.js or the browser.

One significant feature of this library is its ability

to build and train any first-order or second-order
neural network architecture due to its
architecture-free algorithm and pre-manufactured
structure.

Brain.jsis a fast processing library because

of the use of GPU for computations. Even if
the GPU is not available, it reverts back to
pure JS and continues to process.

Brain.js provides multiple neural network

implementations and encourages building
training and running those neural networks
on the server-side along with Node.js.
 Disadvantages !

 Client-Side Security
Since JavaScript code is executed on the client-side, bugs
and oversights can sometimes be exploited for malicious
purposes. Because of this, some people choose to disable
JavaScript entirely.

 Browser Support
While server-side scripts always produce the same output,
different browsers sometimes interpret JavaScript code
differently. These days the differences are minimal, and you
shouldn't have to worry about it as long as you test your
script in all major browsers.
