In November 1996, Netscape submitted JavaScript to ECMA (European Computer Manufacturers Association), as the starting point for a standard specification that all browser vendors could follow. Netscape wanted to be ahead of the game by introducing this in its browser so they came up with this. It was created to add animations and user interactions to make websites dynamic. However, these two languages are not related to each other at all. Naming it JavaScript was a marketing tactic by Netscape to give the impression that JavaScript was a spin-off of Java since Java was very popular among developers at that time. But three months later, after receiving a Sun trademark, the name was changed to JavaScript in Netscape Navigator 2.0 beta 3 release. Javascript was initially named Mocha but it was officially called LiveScript when first shipped as part of the Navigator 2.0 beta release in September 1995. He worked as a Netscape Engineer at that time. Javascript was created within 10 days in May 1995 by Brendan Eich. But it has evolved so massively that it can now be used for mobile and desktop applications along with web applications. It was mainly developed for improving the interactions on web pages. Javascript is a powerful scripting language.
