Javascript is the one of the most awesome languages in a web developers toolbox. It has a bad rep perpetuated by ignorance and by people freaking out about pop-ups!!!
First of all pop-ups are not the devil. They are just little windows that pop-up.
So - Javascript is an EMCA scripting language.
The code gets interpreted by a browser and provides application logic on the client side. Using JS we can access the DOM. AKA the unique elements of a document. Using JS we can build asyncronous queries to the server by way of AJAX.
JS has many handy built in functions for working with strings, comparing values, building arrays, etc. JS is also able to build and pass data objects by means of JSON which is very exciting stuff.
Javascript is code which typically executes based on some type of event. The page loading may be the trigger event. Very commonly the event could be on onChange or OnClick action.
Javascript is a loose-type language.
It was developed for speed and a very low learning curve.
I suggest it to any new web developer to be the first language they learn. It is powerful enough to build some interesting applications with, but simple enough to understand without much knowledge of theory.
Javascript is the front end developers duct-tape.

JavaScript is a programming or scripting language whose primary use is in the content that web servers send to browsers in response to a request for a web page, and is executed by the browser to alter or enhance what the user sees.
Despite its name, which was chosen for marketing reasons, JavaScript is a distinct language from Java. It has some syntactic similarity to C, C++, and Java.

JavaScript is a prototype-based scripting language with a syntax loosely based on C.
