JavaScript's interplay with HTML and CSS was another topic of discussion alongside the introduction to global context as 'window' in webpage development. Finally, there was also advice offered on using external JavaScript in WeWeb, reducing the need to republish a site with every code change by using the script tag. This is an efficient way to enhance iterations within the WeWeb platform.
