First Question
How does JavaScript works?
Concurrency Model
Based on Event loop
Has an event queue in which tasks to be executed are pushed
Single Threaded!
Title Text
while(queue.waitForMessage()){ queue.processNextMessage(); }
Web Workers
Work in Background
Do heavy and intensive tasks
IIFE
Immediately Invoked Function Expression
Constructor Function
Call, Bind and Apply
Events
Prototypes
Main use when function is used as constructor for object
Loading Lazily
ENTER REQUIREJS
INSANE?
Isn't it?
You get modular code + Lazy load
Want to create modules only?
No lazy loading?
What if you had node.js like require system?
Enter Browserify!

Anything else you want to know on JavaScript?
You forgot Promises
Anything else?
Testing!
CSS Efficiency
What we know?
- Reads from right to left
- Later selectors override the prior ones
- More specific selectors override less specific ones
- More nested the selector less efficient it is
Remember what classes mean in OOP?
Use classes the same way in CSS.
Ek Class, Ek Dushman
BEM-Methodology
Enter Architecture
Use SASS
Use Grunt
Compile SASS to CSS
Divide CSS into related partials
Use the class together in the code
Thank You!
