JavaScript was created in 1995 by Brendan Eich while he was working at Netscape. Initially developed under the name Mocha, then LiveScript, it was eventually renamed JavaScript.
The early 2000s saw a significant shift with the advent of AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), allowing web pages to update asynchronously by exchanging data with a web server behind the scenes. This meant web applications could now update portions of a page without reloading the entire page.
Node.js, introduced in 2009 by Ryan Dahl, was a game-changer. It allowed JavaScript to be used outside the browser, particularly for server-side scripting. This opened up new avenues for JavaScript developers, enabling them to build full-stack applications using a single programming language.
