12. A Brief History Of JavaScript | JavaScript Complete Tutorials
1<br />00:00:02,180 --> 00:00:05,000<br />So now did we know what javascript is and where it runs.<br /><br />2<br />00:00:05,030 --> 00:00:12,060<br />Let's have a very brief overview of the jobs good history so that you know how it evolved over time.<br /><br />3<br />00:00:12,110 --> 00:00:20,310<br />In 1995 Netscape introduces life script which thereafter was renamed to JavaScript.<br /><br />4<br />00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:27,050<br />Now in 1996 Microsoft also released its own words of JavaScript and Internet Explorer.<br /><br />5<br />00:00:27,050 --> 00:00:32,280<br />So same idea generally same syntax but also differences.<br /><br />6<br />00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:33,780<br />So we already had a issue there.<br /><br />7<br />00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:37,200<br />Back then jobs good all the wasn't able to do a lot of things.<br /><br />8<br />00:00:37,250 --> 00:00:43,130<br />It was mainly used for a spammy things for four annoying overlays and pop ups.<br /><br />9<br />00:00:43,130 --> 00:00:49,550<br />But another problem was that you had to write very different scripts for different browsers.<br /><br />10<br />00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:54,690<br />In late 1996 people saw that this fragmentation could be a problem.<br /><br />11<br />00:00:54,830 --> 00:01:01,940<br />And therefore javascript the language was submitted to the Atma committee to start standardization.<br /><br />12<br />00:01:01,940 --> 00:01:07,420<br />This simply is an organization which will stand responsible for standardizing javascript.<br /><br />13<br />00:01:07,460 --> 00:01:12,890<br />So did you have one standard which then could be implemented by multiple browsers so that we had ongoing<br /><br />14<br />00:01:12,890 --> 00:01:16,390<br />standardization efforts until 2005 roughly.<br /><br />15<br />00:01:16,460 --> 00:01:24,050<br />And Microsoft did really join the party well we know how Microsoft was in the late 90s early 2000s ultimately<br /><br />16<br />00:01:24,050 --> 00:01:26,710<br />they supported the standardized jobs could worsen.<br /><br />17<br />00:01:26,780 --> 00:01:33,290<br />Still there were differences but we had a more common way of using JavaScript.<br /><br />18<br />00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:39,740<br />Now the efforts of standardization continue and we had huge progress until 2011 I'd say.<br /><br />19<br />00:01:39,980 --> 00:01:46,340<br />And Microsoft eventually choice for says and became part of the standardization process and of contributing<br /><br />20<br />00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:51,380<br />to building that standard and adding new features because that's important.<br /><br />21<br />00:01:51,410 --> 00:01:53,400<br />My timeline ends here.<br /><br />22<br />00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:56,480<br />Development of JavaScript absolutely does not.<br /><br />23<br />00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:04,070<br />I would say especially since 2010 11 it really picked up and it is under active development.<br /><br />24<br />00:02:04,130 --> 00:02:07,100<br />It's evolving new features are getting added.<br /><br />25<br />00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:14,480<br />It's getting a better and better programming language and was it was quite clunky around 2006 and 7<br /><br />26<br />00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:21,480<br />and despite standardization every browsers still did its own thing in some regards.<br /><br />27<br />00:02:21,770 --> 00:02:30,050<br />We nowadays really have a uniform language with some small differences but mainly one core language<br /><br />28<br />00:02:30,350 --> 00:0
