jan 8, 1994 - Javascript

Description:

It was designed by Brendan Eich. It was designed to compliment Java in Netscape Navigator, but the original idea for it was to create a programming language for the company’s own web browser. It is called Javascript because of a marketing deal between Netscape and Sun to bundle Java with Netscape’s web browser.
