The History of JavaScript

To fully understand the history of JavaScript it is first necessary to go back to a time before Internet Explorer and Firefox dominated the web browser market, and before most of us even knew what a web browser was.

In 19??, Jim Clark (the foundedr of Silicon Graphics) and Marc Andreeson (a graduate of ??? University) met in Palo Alto, California to talk about starting a company. Whilst at ??? Marc had worked on Mosaic - one of the earliest web browsers - and the two soon decided to bring the internet and web browsing to the masses. Many sleepless nights and millions of lines of code later the Netscape browser took the internet by storm, and the company's subsequent stratospheric Initial Public Offering (IPO) triggered what would later be referred to as the dotcom boom.
