Complete Guide to JS Async & Await ES2017/ES8

Learn about the fancy new async and await keywords in JavaScript. What's the point? How do you use them? We'll also learn how to refactor asynchronous code with a callbacks to instead use async functions. Fun stuff!

Thank you for this! I love that your youtube content is sort of complimentary to your Udemy courses and I really hope you can make more of these. Btw, it wouldn't bother me if you start advertising as long as it helps you, seeing how much you help us out.

Nobody explains things with such an ease and engagement at all! The best!!

Hello Colt!
I want to thank you for everything. A year ago I bought your web development udemy course, and I learned from it how to make a lot of cool stuff.
After finishing that course I made 10 projects and a Portfolio, beeing hired by a local company on age of 18 years.
You are the best teacher I ever seen, keep it up!
I hope you the best! ❤ ❤

As usual, you have the ability to provide crystal clear understanding of whatever subject matter you are teaching. The best!

Have undertood async functions by just watching this 16min video. Thank you!

Stillb y far the best tutor out there and pretty much the only one where I understood everything as someone coming from a completely different field. Please make a full video about js callbacks and promises!

[muhammedismail]

So happy that you're uploading regularly

This is the best async await youtube video... also this works like a summary to what you taught on async await in the js bootcamp course.... your courses are really good.... Im enrolled in most of em and will be following the remaining courses after I complete the ones i am already enrolled

Honestly Colt, this is one of the best tutorials regarding programming on Youtube. You've taken a topic that seems convoluted and "scary" for beginners and broke it down into easy to understand bits. We understand that Youtube isn't always the best use of your time regarding ROI, but we greatly appreciate it.

Best explanation ever, this is what I was finding from last few hours, Thank You!!!❤❤❤

You are not just a trainer, but a emotion to programming

[luisalbertogarciaibarra]

Awesome content. I wouldn't mind you advertising or even asking for donations. You definitely deserve it.

[sidarjunful]

The refactoring part was awesome to know.

[FalkorX]

Very good explanation, as always, thanks!
I personally like to throw array destructuring assignment into the mix, goes very well with parallel async/await code:

let [p1, p2, p3] = await Promise.all([
$.getJSON(`${baseURL}/1/`),
$.getJSON(`${baseURL}/2/`),
$.getJSON(`${baseURL}/3/`)
]);


console.log(`The first pokemon is ${p1.name}`);
console.log(`The second pokemon is ${p2.name}`);
console.log(`The third pokemon is ${p3.name}`);

Best explanation of async/await on youtube!

Thanks Colt! I bought your first web course on a whim half a year ago and after that I was hooked. I'm probably going to get all your courses sooner or later.

I don't feel comfortable looking for jobs yet but thought it might be cool to know that after taking your bitcoin course and about half of your python I was able to create the world's shittiest bitcoin block explorer, then the world's worst bitcoin address generator (you can spend outputs from it too) and finally a horribly slow bitcoin miner which is completely pointless of course but I managed to mine a block in a testnet.

So thank you, I'm a huge fan of your content and your style of teaching

[yadhukrishna]

As usual Colt explains it perfectly. I'm a student from your udemy courses. Excellent work. Thank you.

Colt explains difficult concepts in the way that's understandable. I would love to see the video about algorithms or solving problems in JS (smth. like factorials, string reverse... ) and other topics that you can encounter on a technical interview. Some of you are not aware but Colt has really good Udemy training for those who want to become a webdev. Good job on the video Colt! Keep up with the content production!

[harshitbhalla]

Simply the best explanation ever! Being taught by you just makes my day :D

[xxwarpigxx]

Great video, I was having problems to understand this but you make it so easy
