Java on the different platforms vs javascript

[michaeldebruin]

Hello all,

I am a complete newbie with java, but can anyone explain me the differences between java on the different platforms (mobile, computer etc.)? Is it just using different modules and methodes or are there serious differences in the language between the different platforms? And between Java and Javascript, is it a complete different language or just other methodes and modules of Java? I know javascript is for websites and java for software.

Thanks in Advance

1. JavaScript is a scripting language mainly used in web language(HTML, Asp.net) for clientside scripting and validations opposite to this is vbscript used for serverside scripting (handling user inputs.)

2. Java is a opensource language used to create webApplications & Desktop applications. the use of java against .net is bcoz it is platform independent you compile your javacode in windows on ex. java 1.5 you can run this complied code on Linux also(paltform 1.5)
