Title / Título

The Rise of JS

Description / Descripción

Did you know where the name Mozilla came from?
Why JS is called Javascript in the first place?
20 years ago, no one sober would have used Javascript for anything else than stars coming out of your cursor. No way. In the early 2000’s, we would rather go for app-servers and the dynamic web. Today, Flash and Java Applets are gone, JS rose from the ashes of the Browser and the Web won… How did we get here?

That, detective, is the right question.

If you haven’t lived it, come discover the early steps of the web, the history of Netscape, the browser-war, and the rise of JS.
