00:00:02,180 --> 00:00:05,000
So now did we know what javascript is and where it runs.

2
00:00:05,030 --> 00:00:12,060
Let's have a very brief overview of the jobs good history so that you know how it evolved over time.

3
00:00:12,110 --> 00:00:20,310
In 1995 Netscape introduces life script which thereafter was renamed to JavaScript.

4
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:27,050
Now in 1996 Microsoft also released its own words of JavaScript and Internet Explorer.

5
00:00:27,050 --> 00:00:32,280
So same idea generally same syntax but also differences.

6
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:33,780
So we already had a issue there.

7
00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:37,200
Back then jobs good all the wasn't able to do a lot of things.

8
00:00:37,250 --> 00:00:43,130
It was mainly used for a spammy things for four annoying overlays and pop ups.

9
00:00:43,130 --> 00:00:49,550
But another problem was that you had to write very different scripts for different browsers.

10
00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:54,690
In late 1996 people saw that this fragmentation could be a problem.

11
00:00:54,830 --> 00:01:01,940
And therefore javascript the language was submitted to the Atma committee to start standardization.

12
00:01:01,940 --> 00:01:07,420
This simply is an organization which will stand responsible for standardizing javascript.

13
00:01:07,460 --> 00:01:12,890
So did you have one standard which then could be implemented by multiple browsers so that we had ongoing

14
00:01:12,890 --> 00:01:16,390
standardization efforts until 2005 roughly.

15
00:01:16,460 --> 00:01:24,050
And Microsoft did really join the party well we know how Microsoft was in the late 90s early 2000s ultimately

16
00:01:24,050 --> 00:01:26,710
they supported the standardized jobs could worsen.

17
00:01:26,780 --> 00:01:33,290
Still there were differences but we had a more common way of using JavaScript.

18
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:39,740
Now the efforts of standardization continue and we had huge progress until 2011 I'd say.

19
00:01:39,980 --> 00:01:46,340
And Microsoft eventually choice for says and became part of the standardization process and of contributing

20
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:51,380
to building that standard and adding new features because that's important.

21
00:01:51,410 --> 00:01:53,400
My timeline ends here.

22
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:56,480
Development of JavaScript absolutely does not.

23
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:04,070
I would say especially since 2010 11 it really picked up and it is under active development.

24
00:02:04,130 --> 00:02:07,100
It's evolving new features are getting added.

25
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:14,480
It's getting a better and better programming language and was it was quite clunky around 2006 and 7

26
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:21,480
and despite standardization every browsers still did its own thing in some regards.

27
00:02:21,770 --> 00:02:30,050
We nowadays really have a uniform language with some small differences but mainly one core language

28
00:02:30,350 --> 00:0
