The coding language that adds functionality would be Javascript. Javascript is a light and widely used program that helps to enhance and provide content to a web page. Javascript is used in many different ways and helps add simple functions as well as create types of animations or processes. I looked at some statistics and they provided information regarding the fact that about 79% of all internet surfers always have Javascript enabled. With the amount of websites, programs, etc. that we have in the world, that is a lot! Javascript allows the use of interactiveness within your doc or webpage and is widely used in the technology-world. Javascript is pretty much us, as tiny humans, putting in words into our computers that tell them what to do, pretty much? I wasn’t much of a tech person prior to this class, but I definitely knew the overview of what Javascript was, but it’s awesome to learn more about a system that you use pretty much every day!
Hello Jessica,
Great post, wow what an amazing fact I had no idea that 79% of all the internet’s surface has JavaScript enabled. That is really a fascinating fact, I was aware of JavaScript but never knew how big it actually is. I think you describe what JavaScript is perfectly, we use it to create functionality. If not for JavaScript we would not be able to do anything online, no checking apps, no shopping nothing would be possible. Learning about JavaScript this semester has opened my eyes to the wonderful types of systems I use every day but never took a second thought about how it works, I just know that it does. Overall, great post.
