Top 3 JavaScript Concepts Every Developer Should Know

  1. Asynchronous Programming: JavaScript is single-threaded, meaning it can only execute one task at a time. However,many web applications require performing multiple tasks simultaneously, such as fetching data from a server or waiting for user input.

This allows you to create interactive web applications that respond to user actions and update the UI in real-time.
