This allows you to use one single language for both the server-side and client-side programming. With the introduction of Node.js in 2009 (an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment), you can run your JavaScript standalone or inside the server (instead of a browser). JavaScript has grown beyond the client-side programming. JavaScript is Now Everywhere with Node.js

Together, they enrich the UI/UX of the web users. HTML provides the contents CSS specifies the presentation and JavaScript programs the behavior.


With Node.js (released in May 27, 2009), JavaScript can be used to program server-side and build full-stack web applications. It became more robust with DHTML (1997) and Ajax (1999). JavaScript began as a client-side programming language (which runs inside a web browser via a built-in JavaScript engine) for adding interactive contents to the web pages. Since its release in Decem(six months after Java, which was released in May 23, 1995), JavaScript has gone through many changes.
