What do you recommend instead?
Java and Javascript are two completely different software languages. JAVA is used heavily on the back-end, Server side. Javascript is desgined into the browsers (client-side.)
java has nothing to do with JavaScript.
When Brendan Eich developed the language, it was supposed to be called LiveScript, not JavaScript.
But the brainless marketdroids were in awe of Sun at the time and changed its name at the last moment in hopes of hitching a ride to glory on the coattails of Sun's brainchild, Java. Which crashed and burned (client-side anyway). Killed first by Flash, and now by HTML5, which is powered by Brendan Eich's creation, JavaScript.
