Understanding JavaScript Callback Functions from First Principles

⚙️ Before Promises. Before async/await. There were callbacks. And if you don't understand callbacks deeply, you don't really understand JavaScript. I just published a full guide on Callback Functions — starting from first principles. Here's what you'll learn: → Why functions are values in JavaScript — and why that changes everything → What a callback actually is (hint: it's simpler than you think) → Why async programming needs callbacks — the single-thread problem explained → Where callbacks appear every day: forEach, map, filter, addEventListener, setTimeout → Callback hell — what it is, why it happens, and why it matters → The pyramid of doom, visualised This is the foundation you need before Promises and async/await will ever make sense.
