Hello Everyone,

I am confused to choose the right field in my carrier direction, which one is better java or javascript? Can anyone suggest me where I can explore more about both of them?
 
It isn't really a matter of what is better, it depends on what problems you're trying to solve, since both languages are designed for different problem domains.

JavaScript is predominantly a client-side scripting languages used for web development, whereas, Java is a OOP language designed for desktop applications, mobile apps and server-side web development.

For me, I personally find learning from a good programming book the best way, however, if you're looking for an introduction then I would take a look at W3Schools website.

Hi Ankit,

I totally agree with your points @x BlueRobot, it is not a big matter which is the best programming languages you need to make your career, On which you are familiar or on which you have the best experience or best basic skills.

About the differences, Here I am going to list down them:

Both the language is written, executed and assembled in a different manner.

Java is used for Android apps development, Credit card programming, and creation for desktop applications and web enterprise applications whereas Javascript is used to make a web page more interactive. Javascript has more functionality as compared to the flash, So people are using it in place of a flash.

Java is used for server-side development whereas Javascript is used for developing client-side server scripts for Validation and Interactivity.

Java code must be compiled, and JavaScript code is all-text.

Each language requires different plug-ins.

JavaScript code is run on a browser only, while Java creates applications that run in a virtual machine or browser.

Java is an OOP (object-oriented programming) language, and JavaScript is specifically an OOP scripting language.

For a skilled/experienced programmer, the language is somewhat irrelevant, except with regards to what is wanted to be accomplished. I focus primarily on C++/C#. With .net being available in a lot of different ways has made things even simpler. And contrary to what I see kids learning in school... "Coding"... "Drag-And-Drop" approaches are not programming. :-)
