Origin of java script

Answer 1

JavaScript was developed at Netscape in the mid 90s. During it's development it had the code name "Mocha." When it was initially released to the public in September 1995, it was called "LiveScript." The name was changed to JavaScript during a minor release of Netscape's software in December 1995. It is generally held that the name change was either a marketing ploy by Netscape to latch onto Java--the hot new web language from Sun (now Oracle.) Some however point out that the change may have been part of a deal between Netscape and Sun in which Netscape bundled the Java run-time into their browsers.
