Apress eBooks · 2007
In the past couple years there’s been a tremendous amount of development on the JavaScript language—and from many directions. The Mozilla Foundation has been making progress on improving the quality of the JavaScript language, aligning it with ECMAScript 4 (the language that JavaScript is based upon). On another front, the WHAT-WG, a collaboration of web browser manufacturers who want to develop new technologies that allow writing and deploying applications over the Web, has created the specification for the next generation of browser-based applications. Finally, library authors and corporations have been working to solidify the techniques of streaming browser-based applications into the technique called Comet . All of this represents the future of the JavaScript language and browser-based development. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
