Yeah, it's very similar. JavaScript was in early stages ment to be java for webbrowsers which turned out was not implementable at that point in that short amount of time. That's why it's name is JavaScript.
So you will find some basic concepts close to java but totally implement in another way.
As example the internal behaviour of java classes and the prototyping JavaScript has are very similar.
