JavaScript Developers

 

What is JavaScript?

JavaScript (JS) is a lightweight interpreted programming language well-known as the scripting language for websites. JavaScript allows web developers (like us!!) to create interactive web pages that respond to user actions immediately without necessarily having to send data off to the server and wait for a response. 

Lots of features you may consider fairly standard on modern websites are powered by JavaScript. The hover menu at the top of this page is a combination of JavaScript and CSS. The animations that trigger as you scroll down our web pages are similar. 

JavaScript can also lighten the load on the server and speed up client/server interactions by grabbing data asynchronously from the server without having to request a full new web page. This permits the building of fast, efficient web applications that can feel as fast as using an application installed on your own personal computer.

The biggest cliche with JavaScript is that it isn't Java. The two technologies are very different. However, ironically, the JavaScript language itself has expanded beyond the web browser and is now used in many non-browser environments such as Node.js, Apache CouchDB and Adobe Acrobat.

A deep
understanding

At Bluelinemedia, we've been working with various incarnations of JavaScript for over 20 years.  We've used libraries long since forgotten (remember MooTools?) and watched as the core functionality of vanilla JavaScript has expanded to swallow up the reasons for using such libraries whole. 

We've developed our own in-house JavaScript library written entirely in pure JavaScript which makes it incredibly fast and efficient. Coding in raw JavaScript gives us an inherent advantage when working with any JavaScript environment. We understand how it works, how it can be quicker and if necessary, re-written in plain JavaScript to make it blindingly fast.

Supporting your
JavaScript needs

As we may have mentioned above (!), we've been working with JavaScript for so long, we've seen pretty much everything. It's amazing how often the interactive functionality of web pages ties itself in knots trying to achieve something that, if properly understood, could be a lot quicker, more reliable and ultimately more user friendly.

Frameworks, libraries and AI generated code are fine to a certain point, but if your web application or website is developed too rapidly (or just badly) then the price of adding that new shiny toy to your website is paid by your users as the site gets slower and slower....

We've helped dozens of clients pick apart their poorly performing websites and supported plenty in modernising their systems. From simple, but bogged down websites to full web applications sinking in their own complication we'll support you to find a better way forward.
