Java is an object-oriented programming language created by Sun Microsystems that has revolutionized the programming applications for the World Wide Web that we currently use to access information. Of course, Java as we all know is in a family of other technological languages such as Java applets, Java Beans, and JavaScript and happens to be much simpler and secure out of all these Internet technologies. Java is the focal point of the network of any design application, which brings in the different types of images, designs, and other characteristics that are associated in a web page. As result, any java application that consist of any small applications are known as Java applets, and with this in mind it can be executed or operated anywhere in a network.
JavaScript is a compact, object-based scripting language designed for developing client and server Internet applications. The JavaScript's performance enables the browser to solidify any JavaScript statements that are possibly embedded into the HTML page. JavaScript allows for creation of a successful Web page in order for a timely response to occur to the users actions when they access any page that consists these JavaScript's. The previous way in which Web pages were extended to respond to user actions was through CGI. CGI runs on the Web server and causes a new application to run on the server based on some input the user gave that got passed across from the client to the server. This is a very slow and cumbersome approach and JavaScript essentially moved the server-based CGI processing to the client. The web server is less burdened because it is now left to just deliver new HTML pages and not continuously respond to user events, whereas the network traffic becomes reduced increasing everyone's responsiveness because the round-trip to the server and back is avoided when remaining on the client.
