Show Notes

We're back after a summer hiatus (where Bart was working too hard) with a new installment where we attempt to dust off Allison's brain and learn about two new promise-related keywords, async and await. Both of these keywords were actually added to the core JavaScript language, so this doesn't happen that often.

With async and await, we can actually get away from doing promise chains and create much more readable code while still being able to control parallel and in series tasks. Bart had to drag me along a bit in this one but I saw the beauty of it when we were done.

Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes can be found at PBS 82 of X — Async & Await : Bart Busschots.
