JavaScript is a versatile language that can be used to enhance client-side and server-side scripting. JavaScript is also widely used for its abilities to manage user input, show text, play sounds, display images, and communicate with a plug-in response.
* JavaScript, unlike many other programming languages, is relatively easy to master, even for those who have no programming experience
* Mastery of JavaScript allows Web masters and Web site developers to easily add interactivity, moving beyond static HTML pages
