Javascripts
JavaScript is a simple programming language used to add functionality or interesting design elements to web pages. While there are a great range of more versatile programming languages and code types for web sites, Java script is still very commonly used (often in combination with the other alternatives) because it is almost universally recognized by web browsers and because it is very simple and easy to create common web elements using snippets of JavaScript code (aka Javascripts). Java scripts for common web page elements are easy to find online and you can download free Javascripts on many world wide web sites. There are vast libraries of thousands and thousands of free Java scripts (not to be confused with the programming language Java) online, and with a free JavaScript download you can add functionality to your site without having to go through a complicated programming process.
To learn about Javascripts, try a JavaScript tutorial at a site such as W3Schools dot com. This site has JavaScript examples and a JavaScript reference that can teach you all about the basics of writing Javascripts and using Javascripts that you find online to make your web sites better. When you are trying Javascripts online, make sure that you enable JavaScript in your web browser, as some browsers may come with things such as JavaScript and Java disabled until you specify otherwise. Once you know that Javascripts can run on your computer, test out JavaScript with a JavaScript download from one of the many JavaScript example libraries. Search for the phrase 'JavaScript download free' or some specific type of simple program like a 'JavaScript palindrome program' using a popular world wide web search engine such as Yahoo, Google or MSN, to find Javascripts for download that you can use for free in your own web site.
Among programming languages, JavaScript is one of the easiest, and before you know it with a couple tutorials under your belt you will be writing Javascripts left and right. It does not take long to put together a JavaScript program; as Javascripts do not have to be compiled into a raw code form but are read directly by the web browser. Also, you do not have to create separate files for Javascripts, because they are written as part of a normal HTML web page. I wish you good luck learning how to program Javascripts on the web and make your web sites more interesting and useful!
