Howdy Everyone!!🤗 In this blog I would like to lead you all to the exposure of Jasvascript and it’s use-cases in today’s industries. I would like to start up with an introduction of what actually javascript is..?

Javascript often abbreviated as “JS”, is a programming language commonly used in web development. JavaSrcipt is one of the core technologies of the World Wide Web.

JavaScript supports event-driven, funvtional and imperative programming styles. It has application programming interfaces (APIs) for working with text, dates, regular expressions etc. It was created in the first place for DOM manipulation.

It is cross-platform and interpreted scripting language. It is well-known for the development of webpages. It can be used for client-side developments (Angular JS,ReactJS, VueJS) as well as Server-side developments (node.js).

JavaScript for Cyber Security

If you want to work with cookies, manipulation of event handlers and perform cross-site scripting(XSS), JavaScript is the rigth one. XSS is one of the most popular hacking technique when it comes to compromising a website. The hacker generally looks for an input flaw on the website and uses scripts to take over the website. So, having string hand on javascript would secure the website enough to eliminate XSS attacks.

Mobile app development has been started to direct the world as nothing is closer to individuals than smartphones. Nowadays with the use of JavaScript coding, mobile app development plays a paramount role in current technology trends. Freameworks of JavaScript in mobile apps → Ionic, PhoneGap, jQuery etc.
