Java -- Objected Oriented version of C/C++ supporting Interactive Distributed Computing. Previous Web computing (eg CGI) was server-side. Java allows design and Implementation of balanced Client Server Applications
  • Java could be very important as simplicity (no pointers) and elegant distributed computing support makes it good basis of parallel C/C++
JavaScript -- only superficially related to Java and was called LiveScript -- is Netscape's fully interpreted Client side extension of HTML. This is a good integration/customization technology where flexibility more impotant than performance
  • Current examples use JavaScript together with frames (Netscape HTML extension) for interactive multi-window technologies
