#Understanding closures, callbacks and promises
For a code newbie like myself, callbacks, closures and promises are scary JavaScript concepts.
10 months into my full-time dev career, and I would struggle to explain these words to a peer.

Here are the notes from my initial reading. I'll continue to refine them as my understanding improves.
