Explore node, an open source, cross platform runtime for executing javascript outside the browser, powering scalable back end services and apis and its vast ecosystem of libraries.
Node serves as a runtime environment for executing JavaScript outside the browser, embedding the V8 engine in a C++ program and enabling filesystem and network access.
Learn how Node uses non-blocking, asynchronous architecture with a single thread to handle many requests, unlike blocking, synchronous systems where a waiter waits for the chef.
Install and verify the latest stable version of node across windows, mac, or linux, by running node --version to confirm, then proceed to build your first node application.
Learn to set up a code editor, create first node app, write a hello function that logs a message, and run it with node to see window is not defined.
Explore how the global object defines the global scope in JavaScript, accessible as window or global in browsers and node, and use setTimeout, setInterval, and clearTimeout to manage timing.
Discover how to avoid global scope pollution by using modules in Node, exporting variables and functions to create private, encapsulated code, and identify the main module in a Node application.
Create and load a module in JavaScript by exporting add and multiply with module.exports, then import with require and run them to demonstrate modularity.
Explore how asynchronous programming in modern JavaScript lets the program continue other tasks while waiting for operations to complete, with examples like network requests and the promise object.
Explore how a promise represents the eventual outcome of an asynchronous operation, with pending, fulfilled, or rejected states, and learn to handle both fulfilled results and rejections.
construct a new promise with the promise constructor, using an executor function that takes resolve and reject to settle the promise as fulfilled or rejected, then log the result.
Learn to consume promises returned by asynchronous operations using setTimeout, observe promise states from pending to settled, and simulate asynchronous flows with delays and the event loop.
Master how to use the then method to attach success and failure handlers to promises, handle fulfills and rejecting, and recognize that then returns a new promise for chaining.
Learn how to use promises to handle success and failure with onFulFilled and onRejected, chaining then handlers to log resolved values or rejection reasons, and simulate an inventory check.
Learn how to use catch with promises to separate success and failure handlers, compare then and catch, and write readable promise chains that handle rejection clearly.
Learn to chain multiple promises in asynchronous javascript by composing promises, returning promises in then handlers, and handling errors with catch while simulating inventory checks, payments, and shipping.
Learn to avoid common mistakes in promise composition, including nested promises and failing to return promises, by chaining with then for clearer, readable async code.
Learn to run multiple promises concurrently with Promise.all, which resolves when all checks succeed and rejects fast if any fails, demonstrated with availability checks for sunglasses, bands, and bags.
Explain how promises move between states and are settled when they resolve or reject, and construct them with the new keyword, an executor, and then and catch for composition.
Explore how JavaScript handles asynchronous actions with the event loop, using callbacks, promises, and async/await to write readable, scalable code that reads and writes two files in order.
Learn how the async keyword declares async functions, how to define them by function or expression, and how these functions return undefined or promises you handle with then and catch.
Master the await operator within async functions to pause execution until a promise resolves. Learn to simulate database data with setTimeout, observe resolved values, and distinguish awaited from non-awaited code.
Explore how async functions control promise resolution with and without await, including how await yields the resolved value. Refactor get beans to ensure proper logging and correct behavior.
Learn to manage dependent promises with then chaining and async/await, and see an async function make beans that uses show for beans, soak the beans, and cook the beans.
Handle errors in JavaScript with try catch and async/await to catch synchronous and asynchronous errors, using promises to resolve or reject and log outcomes.
Handle independent promises with concurrency in asynchronous javascript from a to z by constructing promises without wait, awaiting results, and running them simultaneously.
Learn how to use Promise.all to run multiple promises concurrently, returning an array of results when all resolve, with fast failure if any rejects.
Review async/await syntax by declaring async functions and using await to pause until promises resolve, employ try-catch for error handling, and leverage concurrency by running asynchronous actions concurrently whenever possible.
Asynchronous JavaScript can be tricky even for experienced developers, but it’s part of what makes JavaScript such a powerful and efficient programming language.
Understanding the asynchronous nature of Javascript is key to mastering the language.
Working with asynchronous code in JavaScript is an essential skill for anyone working with JavaScript. This course will take you from a beginner or intermediate level to mastering asynchronous JavaScript.
In this course you’ll learn how to create and use JavaScript Promises as well as how to write clean, scalable code with the newer async_await syntax!
This course is designed to take someone with a beginner level knowledge of async programming and turn them into an expert.
We do this by starting off very simple, explaining the core concepts.
Then step by step adding in layers of knowledge, punctuated by quizzes and coding challenges to cement and your knowledge before moving onto the next section.
With this course you are going to learn beyond just the basics like most online courses. You won't just learn patterns, techniques and best practices. You are going to understand the "why" of the toughest part of the language, to the point that when you get asked any question about Javascript in an interview or in a meeting, you will be able to explain concepts that would truly make people see that you are a senior javascript programmer.
Most importantly, you will become a top 10% javascript developer by going beyond the superficial basics that a lot of courses cover. We are going to dive deep and come out the other end a confident advanced javascript developer. I guarantee it. Whether you are a web developer, a React, Angular, Vue.js developer (frontend developer), or a Node.js backend developer, you will benefit from this course because Javascript is at the core of these professions.
