Dive into the core differences between declared functions and expressed functions in JavaScript, and understand the concept of anonymous functions. Explore why and how function expressions can be utilized for callbacks and how they transition into arrow functions, a feature essential for modern JavaScript development.
Dive into the JavaScript Document Object Model (DOM), a tree-like structure enabling dynamic webpage interactions. Learn how the DOM empowers web development by allowing for real-time content manipulation without needing page reloads, and explore its pivotal role in creating responsive and interactive user experiences.
Vanilla JavaScript (aka vanilla JS) simply means regular JS without frameworks or libraries.
Developers coined vanilla JS as a joke for when a product lead insists on using a library for a task that can be done with JavaScript alone. “Sure, we’ll use Vanilla JS” 😉

What is JavaScript?
JavaScript is a popular programming language for web development. JavaScript allows developers to add dynamic, interactive behavior to websites. It was originally developed as a client side, or front-end programming language, meaning that it executes in a web browser. With the addition of libraries and frameworks such as Express.js, Nest.js, and Meteor, JavaScript can now also be used for both front-end and back-end development, also known as full-stack development.

JavaScript vs Java
JavaScript and Java are two of the most widely used programming languages in the world. Both have a rich ecosystem of libraries, frameworks and tools.
Despite the similarity in their names, and some similarities in their syntax, Java and JavaScript are two distinct programming languages with different purposes. Java is a general-purpose, statically-typed language used for various application types, and is commonly used for enterprise development. JavaScript is a dynamically-typed scripting language primarily used for web development.
Here are the main differences between JavaScript vs Java:
