Alex : Asynchronous programming : 3 weeks

[alex-maletskyi]

my fork of module repository

Learning Objectives

• You understand the JavaScript Event Loop, and can demonstrate this by using setTimeout and setInterval to schedule simple tasks.
• You can explain why Asynchronous Programming is important for programs that have blocking and non-blocking tasks.
• You can explain the basics of the Client/Server model and HTTP requests and can fetch data from RESTful APIs.
• You can break down an asynchronous problem into smaller tasks and solve it using promises. This includes identify which tasks depend on each other and which are independent:
  • dependent tasks: The return value from one task is required to start the next task, these must be completed in a specific order - .then
  • independent tasks: These tasks do not use each other's return values, they can be completed at the same time - Promise.allsystem.
• You can fetch data from an API and render it into the DOM using /api-calls, /handlers and async/await syntax.
• You can write unit tests for functions that return promises using async/await syntax.

Week 2

• I have pushed my progress to my fork of exercises repo

I Need Help With:

• Nothing at the moment.

What went well?

• Went over the previous concepts from last weeks.

What went less well?

• Not enough time to go over everything for now, but will catch up on the reading and practice in the future.
• Difficult to grasp the understanding of how promises work and in what cases should we be using them. I think I just need more practice.

• Used external resources to read on promises.

What went less well?

• Just lacking in time to finish assignments on time.
