Creating JavaScript

A mission to set the course of the world wide web in its early
days. 10 days to get it done. The result? An indispensable
language that changed everything.


JavaScript was the underdog that won against all odds. Clive
Thompson recounts the browser wars and how much the fallout
influenced the future of the internet. Charles Severance explains
how JavaScript went from a last-minute moonshot to the default
web development language. Michael Clayton confesses he, like many
others, underestimated JavaScript. And Klint Finley describes a
gloomy internet without it.
