For more than a decade, the language has grown in popularity as well as maturity. The language is today based on an open standard under the name ECMAscript, and at least half a dozen of implementations exists - both as open and closed source.
Javascript is like a Kinder Surprise: you get three great things at the same time. You get both a procedural, an object oriented and a functional programming language - all in one language!
This tutorial will introduce Javascript for programmers with no Javascript experience. The introduction is not bound to a particular implementation or even web browser but will discuss the language as general as possible.
