Use Java for detailed programming and JavaScript for overall integration of client interface and system

JavaScript: Interpreted by client and NOT compiled

|
JavaScript: Object based -- no classes or inheritance -- built in extensible objects
|
Java: Object-oriented -- Programs consist of object classes with inheritance
