“Should you embed JavaScript directly in HTML or use external files? 💻 In this video, compare inline and external script tags with real-world examples, and learn the pros, cons, and modern best practices for organizing your code in 2024. Perfect for beginners and pros alike!
✅ What You’ll Learn:
Inline JavaScript: Embed code directly in HTML using script alert('Hello!'); /script (quick but messy!).
External JavaScript: Link clean .js files with script src="app.js" /script (scalable and maintainable).
IDE/Editor Tips: VS Code, Sublime, and WebStorm features for managing scripts (auto-complete, error checking, live reload).
2024 Standards: When to use async, defer, or type="module" for performance and modular code.
💡 Why This Matters:
Avoid Spaghetti Code: Keep HTML clean and JavaScript reusable.
Debug Faster: Isolate issues in external files with IDE tools.
Career-Ready Skills: Follow industry standards used in React, Vue, and Node.js projects.
