Ingolme Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 JavaScript was the scripting language invented for the Netscape browser. When the W3C created a formal specification for the language to be used across all browsers they named it ECMAScript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescientist Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Same thing. I wouldn't say that necessarily. Specification can be different from implementation, and different run times can "decorate" the language specification alltogether. For example, consider these different runtimes NodeJS - JavaScript (V8, no DOM for example) Browser - JavaScipt Flash - ActionScript Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikwado Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 I have been reading ecmascript book for several month now but could not understand all these powerful explanation, do I still need to keep these book with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 If you're learning ECMAScript then you are learning the standard that Javascript, Actionscript, etc are based on. That's still useful to know, even if the other languages don't implement the complete standard or add their own parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
