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 3

I Need Help With:

Nothing for now.

What went well?

What went less well?

Lessons Learned

Async/await syntax is the modern way of dealing with promises, but sometimes I forget to put await and it produces the errors.
