In the first few weeks of the Core program you have been dealing with synchronous code. Last week we already dealt with some asynchronous code (without going in much detail) when we discussed Networking and APIs. This week we will do a deep dive into asynchronous programming.

Learning goals

• Synchronous vs asynchronous code
• Callbacks: callback functions, setTimeout, setInterval, callback hell.
• Promises: then, catch, finally, chaining
• Async file IO as practice for promises and callbacks.
• Async / await
• JS Event loop
• Fetch API: practical usage sending GET and POST requests.
• AI Using Github copilot in VSCode
