JavaScript is notorious for being one of the most popular, yet also one of the most despised programming languages to learn, so today we\\u2019re covering some of the intermediate and advanced JavaScript concepts! We\\u2019ll discuss convoluted topics like generators, prototypal inheritance, and the rendering engine.

Knowing intermediate JavaScript concepts like the call stack, context, scope, the prototype chain, higher order functions, async programming, and the event loop is invaluable and will help with learning frameworks. The fundamentals won\'t change even if the ecosystem does.
