hi,
excuse this naive question from a newbie, but i am wondering what the
differences are between 'java' and 'java script'.
i know that java script is a language thats embedded in the html of the
brouser and the clients machine then interprets that, so then is java a
compiled version of a program that resides on the server?
thanks
jeremy

* Java is a fully object oriented programming language owned
by Sun.
* JavaScript in its various forms are implementations of
the ECMAScript Scripting Language. JS is, as you suggest,
among many other things, oftem embedded in webbrowsers.
* The only thing they have in common is the first 4 letters
in their names, and some syntax similarities.
* Much more can be said about the differences, but just remember
that they are as Apples & Bananas.

the name 'javascript' was chosen for marketing purposes. it has as much to do
with java as do bananas. actually, i had a cat named java that had more to do
with the java language than bananas, but that's a long story.

Chalk --> cheese. Totally different languages altogether.
