Introduction to JavaScript

In this weeks show we introduce the JavaScript programming language, which now seems to be available everywhere. Initially discussing the prototypal-languages goals, we move on to a brief history lesson - touching on the ECMAScript standard. We then explain how JavaScript uses the DOM and Ajax to create dynamic, client-side applications. Finally, we wrap up with the usual ten question quiz.
