Async + Await in JavaScript, talk from Wes Bos

Flow Control in JavaScript is hard! Native Promises in JavaScript have helped immensely, but the syntax is still a little callback-y. With Async + Await, we can write synchronous looking code without losing any of the benefits of JavaScript's asynchronous nature.

Wes Bos explores how async + await works, best practices for flow control, and explores several solutions for handling errors.

This is the best async await video to this day, I'm not even exaggerating.

Great shoutout to Wes Bos for a brilliant and clear explanation

[SumitKumar-twqe]

Starting this video, I had 70% confidence with async-await; after watching it my confidence is 42.6%

I still can't get over the fact that some people are laying in audience

Amazing talk, I really like async / await but the error handling seems too ugly to me so generally I prefer promises

[ChadPjontek]

This is exactly what I needed to learn today! Thank you!

There's a chick in the crowd about to say "can you keep it down cause I'm trying to sleep here?"

Wow wesbos yay! I just realized this was almost 4 months back! Damn I've come so far with JS already

[NarottamDas]

in the beginning, you said JavaScript does not wait, is it JavaScript or Node Js is non-blocking nature?

[arfan]

when I see this name [Wes Bos], I am like I need to watch the video 🔥🔥🤣🤣

[ogunkayodeoluwaseun]

async await gives us synchronous looking code without the downside of writing synchronous code (call back hell)

[kongbruce]

The fonts of the code is awesome, what kind of the font is, who knows?
