About This Episode:
Say goodbye to clunky string concatenation! In this episode, you’ll discover template literals — a modern way to handle strings in JavaScript that makes your code cleaner and easier to read.
🎯 What you’ll learn:
Backtick (`) syntax — the foundation of template literals.
Variable interpolation — insert variables directly into strings.
Multi-line strings — create readable text without messy \n escapes.
Expressions & functions — embed calculations or function calls right inside your strings.
💡 Why it matters:
Template literals are one of those “quality of life” features you’ll use everywhere — from building user messages to formatting HTML templates. Once you start, you’ll never want to go back to + string concatenation.
By the end of this episode, you’ll be writing strings that are not just smarter, but also more expressive. ⚡️
