Kelley,
I don't know specifically, if health care programmers use Java Script, but I am
guessing that some companies probably do, especially for their User Interfaces.
Java Script is great for interfacing to Java Server Pages which are dynamically
created when a user accesses them. (Java Server Pages are files that end in
".jsp". Often the content of a Java Server Page may change, and so need to be
compiled Just In Time for use by a user. The data for that page may be
accessed, using Java Script. Health Care programming uses alot of User
Interfaces and dynamic updates and have alot of dynamic updates of data. You
can use Java Scripting in any programming field. Often other fields also use
programming. Engineers may use programming to calculate data for their needs.
Accountants may use programming to create programs that calculate data for
them. Almost every company needs web programmers to survive in this new age.
Banks have online banking now, which need user interfaces and then could use
Java Scripts for accessing data. Most career paths that use java Script would
be Programming.

I hope this helped.
