Java & Javascript-What is the difference?

Both Java and JavaScript are written, assembled and executed differently, and each has dramatic differences when it comes to what it is capable of doing. Java is used in a wide range of places, including Android apps, credit card programming and in the creation of desktop applications and web enterprise applications. By comparison, JavaScript is mainly used to make web pages more interactive. It can be used as an alternative to Flash, though most programmers will tell you that JavaScript is more popular and has more functionality than Flash. JavaScript can be used to do neat things like creating animation in HTML. In a nutshell, when it comes to how each language is used, Java is typically used for all server side development, while JavaScript is reserved for developing client side scripts for functions like validation and interactivity. There are some other key differences: Java code must be compiled, and JavaScript code is all-text. Each language requires different plug-ins. JavaScript code is run on a browser only, while Java creates applications that run in a virtual machine or browser. Java is an OOP (object-oriented programming) language, and JavaScript is specifically an OOP scripting language.
