Web browsers are perhaps the most sophisticated pieces of software we use. They not only understand HTML, CSS and many other file formats, but they also provide a JavaScript runtime and programming environment that is so powerful that web developers can create entire applications in it that are nearly as sophisticated as thick clients, that is, native applications.
This JavaScript runtime is so powerful, in fact, that today many developers ignore the hypermedia features of the browser, in favor of building their web applications entirely in JavaScript.
