- JavaScript cannot run on its own and requires a host program such as a web browser in order to run
- JavaScript and HTML work hand-in-hand to perform tasks and display text and graphics
- A programmer can place comments after a double slash (“//”) within JavaScript code
- There are three basic ways to view JavaScript:
- As a webpage through a browser
- As read-only source code through the browser
- As editable code in text editor

I just signed up to Educator.com Today after watching a free video tutorial on Java programming taken by Maury Hillstrom, I was impressed by his coverage of Java. But I am surprised after signing up for the monthly subscription! I found its another Tutor that is teaching Java.
