ECMAScript vs JavaScript vs ActionScript: Do you know the difference?

If you’re trying to use SCORM in your e-learning, you’ve undoubtedly heard of JavaScript and ActionScript. But do you know the different between ECMAScript, JavaScript, and ActionScript?

Alex Russell has provided definitions for many of the ECMAScript-related names you might be reading about these days, including ECMAScript (3, 3.1, 4), ActionScript 3, Harmony, and JavaScript 2.

Very helpful!
