Today's JavaScript is a richly expressive, powerful language that's indispensable for developing modern, Web 2.0 applications.

By Duncan Kenzie

JavaScript is the ugly duckling of the Web development world. It doesn't seem to get the respect it deserves. There are probably a few reasons for this:

•·        The name is confusing. Although it has the word "Java" in it, JavaScript bears no relation to Java. It is completely different in philosophy, design, use, and implementation.

•·        The word "Script" makes it sound like a toy language. It conjures up images of "script kiddies" plugging in plagiarized pieces of badly formed code to play pranks on Web sites, or hearkens one's mind back to the days of Visual Basic, when it was a primitive script language.
