javascript is consistently named among the top—if not the top—programming languages. While it can do a lot of amazing things when building web applications and websites, have you ever actually wondered how it does these things? How does a browser know what to do with javascript code? On the surface, we see functions and event handlers and return statements, but how is the javascript engine threading all of that together? And how does it affect your code? Join javascript engineer Manish Poduval in this course to find out the answer to these questions and learn more about what happens in the behind-the-scenes workings of javascript, from the javascript execution context, to the inner workings of the javascript engine, to the javascript event loop.
