Java Central is on its way. The galaxy of Java is just a few light years ahead. You won't want to miss exploration in this quadrant for sure.
Scripting languages are fairly easy to use program-development languages.
The tradeoff is power. In general scripting languages provide less functionality than programming languages. JavaScript is a sophisticated scripting language for client and server Web applications. Browsers such as Netscape and Internet Explorer can interpret JavaScript statements that have been embedded in an HTML page. JavaScript does resemble Java in some ways but it is not to be considered a subset of Java.
