JavaScript: Add video resource to explain callback functions and their drawbacks

[MahmoudTalass]

Describe your suggestion

I came across a video from Akshay Saini (a creator whose videos have previously been provided as a good resource in previous TOP javascript lessons) that discusses callback functions and callback hell. I found it to be very easy to follow and explained callbacks and their drawback very well. I think students who prefer watching videos to learn would find this video helpful.

Thanks for the suggestion @MahmoudTalass Since we have multiple resources on callbacks and various video ones touching on it as well, could you describe what else it covered that isn't already covered in the other resources provided?

If you feel it's better than a current resource that covers the same thing, you could mention it as well. Either way, since this lesson is already covering a lot of written and video material already, it really needs more context.

Thanks for your response @ManonLef!

The video tutorial I came across provided a great visual summary of Chapter 2 on callbacks from "You Don't Know JS." It covered many of the same key points as the reading, including callback hell and inversion of control. While the video in this lesson focused solely on avoiding callback hell and didn't touch upon inversion control.

For learners who prefer video tutorials over reading material, I think adding this as an extra resource link at the end of the lesson could be helpful.

@TheOdinProject/javascript could someone have a look at this please?

Since this lesson already has so many additional resources already I would be hesitant to add another one that covers already covered content just in a different format personally.

While we do know some people prefer video content, this lesson is already jam-packed with information covering all necessary topics to proceed and we will not be including it at this time. I will close this for now but really do appreciate your suggestion @MahmoudTalass !

Thank you for the consideration, @ManonLef !
