Practical Async/Await

"I am so stuck with asynchronous JavaScript. I don't know what else to do.. Please help!"

You're calling an asynchronous function and log the result:

Not the dreaded undefined! 😭

You just want to access the result inside the callback function, why does it have to be so hard?

After reading many StackOverflow posts and watching countless YouTube videos, you're just as lost as when you started..

If you see one more tutorial using setTimeout you're gonna throw your keyboard out the window. 🤬

You're awaiting the function and you've added the async keyword, what else is there to it? 😫

You know the difference between synchronous and asynchronous functions, but you're lost in the application of it.

Everyone says async/await is syntactic sugar for promises, but what does that even mean? You'd rather just stick to using promises. 😣

It's embarrassing not knowing async/await when you've been using JavaScript for all these months (perhaps years!).

You know writing asynchronous code using async/await can be straightforward, you've seen others do it, you just don't think YOU can do it.

But what if you could? 🤔

What if you fundamentally understood how async/await works? 💡

You would feel confident doing any type of asynchronous task, whether that's a network request, a database query or reading a file.

Imagine if you could spot and fix mistakes just by glancing at the code! You'd make callbacks work flawlessly together with async/await if you had to. ✨

You'd be able to write modern asynchronous JavaScript code that just works — finally. Not next month, or next week, but today.

It's true, using async/await is unintuitive and difficult at first.. but it doesn't have to be! 😮

Get really good at asynchronous JavaScript over a series of practical screencasts 🎥

In the Practical Async/Await video course we'll cover some common mistakes when using async/await, and how you should avoid them. You'll work with real-world code examples so you can apply what you've learned right away in your projects. 🎯

You'll develop new ways of reasoning about asynchronous JavaScript, and you'll unlearn old thinking patterns that were getting in your way.

You'll finally understand why async/await excels at asynchronous code. You'll wonder how you've managed to live without it. 🤩

What you'll learn:

• how to reason about async & await through the lens of the JavaScript engine
• how async/await is powered by promises under the hood
• how to make any callback functions work nicely with async/await
• how to evaluate if a library is compatible with async/await
• how to run asynchronous tasks with a concurrency limit
• how to structure & execute complex asynchronous flows
• how to implement timeouts and cancel asynchronous tasks
• and much more..
