What is JavaScript?

JavaScript is a programming language that makes web pages interactive. It lets you respond to user actions, update content on the page and control how things behave in the browser.

Where JavaScript Runs

JavaScript can run:

  • In the browser, to update web pages.
  • On a server, using platforms such as Node.js.

This means you can use one language across the whole stack.
