Why is JavaScript Event Driven

JavaScript was created to allow people to make interactive web pages. While JavaScript is only a part of the code needed to make a wonderful web browser, JavaScript is what provides interactivity to the page. JavaScript is used to tell your browser to do something. It waits for the user of the application to do something in order to run the code. JavaScript is important because it is the base of the applications we use. It is used by Facebook, Google, Instagram, Amazon, and many other sites we use. JavaScript makes using these applications more efficient and enjoyable. Our search engines, e-commerce, and social media would not be possible without the use of JavaScript. While I will probably not use the skills I have developed in this class often in my career, understanding code and the importance of JavaScript makes using technology more interesting. Understanding the behind-the-scenes of when I search for something or add something to my cart while online is a really cool concept and I’m glad I got to learn a bit about it while taking this class.
