JavaScript is a programming language that allows web pages to be dynamic. It is an interpreted language, which means that it doesn't need to be compiled: instead the interpreter (such as a web browser) will parse the code and turn it into code that their machine can run - suitable for creating dynamic websites that can run on any browser on any computer!
