JavaScript is the most popular programming language in the world, which makes it one of the most sought-after skills in the web development industry today. JavaScript has become so widespread and popular that it’s almost the lingua franca of web development. 

JavaScript was originally made for front-end development when it was released in 1995, but now we can create mobile apps, games, desktop apps, back-end server-side apps or one can even do machine learning.

JavaScript has enormous variety of frameworks and libraries, which makes easier to create websites with JavaScript. 80% of apps built using JavaScript rely open source JS frameworks and libraries. JS frameworks and libraries are precoded support programs used to develop complex software applications.
