2. Overall Description
2.1 Domain description:
Why Javascript?

JavaScript, originally supported by Netscape Navigator, is the

most popular Web scripting language today. JavaScript lets you
embed programs right in your Web pages and run these programs
using the Web browser. It is one of the most versatile and
effective languages that can be used by developers. According to
a survey, JavaScript is used by 88% of all websites. You will find
JavaScript not only on every website but also on mobile sites,
games and web applications. The syntax of this language is
similar to simple English making it easier for developers to
learn. It does not require any special compilers or editors. All a
developer needs is a text editor and a browser to run JavaScript
code. Some popular sites using JavaScript include Google,
Facebook, YouTube, Yahoo, Wikipedia, Amazon and Twitter .
