What is JavaScript?[/u]]
JavaScript is a object-oriented programming language that I personally think of as a "plugin" to HTML/xHTML. It is used mostly to make your website more "interactive" with features such as "prompts", which is a new window that "pops up" in your internet browser window. It is imbedded in web pages and read by the browser.


Is Java & JavaScript the same?[/u]]
NO!
Java and JavaScript are two completely different languages in both concept and design! Java (developed by Sun Microsystems) is a powerful and much more complex programming language - in the same category as C and C++.


What do I need to know before learning JavaScript?[/u]]
Basic understanding of HTML/xHTML


Where can I learn it?[/u]]
Numerous websites and youtube channels teach JavaScript.
I personally would suggest:
TheNewBoston
W3Schools


What IDE's do you suggest for JavaScript?[/u]]
There are many IDE's, so I want approach them all.
Here is a few:
Aptana
JavaScript Editor
NetBeans IDE

Interesting.. im in 8th grade and im thinking about learning "Business programming" they teach you javascript in 9th grade, then some other thing in 10th, then C++ in 11th and finally Java in 12th. Can't wait =D
 
I would learn Java before C++.
I was considering to learn C++ but I learned Java first.

I am still in the learning stage of JavaScript but I promise, if it's so easy.
Like if you know HTML then this shouldn't be that difficult.
 
Yea i still havnt decided what i want to do after Java

Its between C++,PHP,or HTML/Javascript

C++ to make more powerful programs
PHP- i dont really know much about it but i konw alot of people need it and not alot of people know it
HTML/Javascript- to make websites basically

I will probably join the developer group over the writers group but we will see.
