JavaScript Browser Internals & Best Practices

Writing JavaScript that works in a tutorial is different from writing JavaScript that ships to production. The event loop explains why setTimeout(0) does not run immediately. Performance profiling finds bottlenecks before users do.

This module covers the internals and best practices that separate hobby scripts from professional software: debugging, bundlers, design patterns, testing strategies, and security fundamentals every developer should know.
