Important JavaScript concepts.

In this repository, I have gathered some of the most important concepts in JavaScript:

• Data types
• Primitive/Reference values
• Scope
• Hoisting
• Let vs Const
• Closures
• IIFE's
• Bind, Call, and Apply
• this
• Objects (and prototypes)
• Classes
• Callbacks (and the event loop)
• Promises
• Intervals

For some of them, I have added articles that helped me understand the concept. Full list of articles can be found below.

To clone the repo, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/dimianni/JS_Concepts.git

Usage

Type in 'node' and 'filename' in the terminal to execute the code. For instance:

node 01_types.js

NOTE: Node has to be installed globally on your machine. It is an environment which allows the execution of JavaScript locally on your machine.

TIP: after typing 'node 02' press TAB to autocomplete the file name.
