Helen : Asynchronous programming, 3 Weeks

[Helen-HYF]

Learning Objectives

• [x] 🥚 You understand the JavaScript Event Loop, and can demonstrate this by using setTimeout and setInterval to schedule simple tasks.

• [x] 🥚 You can explain why Asynchronous Programming is important for programs that have blocking and non-blocking tasks.

• [x] 🥚 You can explain the basics of the Client/Server model and HTTP requests and can fetch data from RESTful APIs.

• [x] 🐣 You can break down an asynchronous problem into smaller tasks and solve it using promises. This includes identify which tasks depend on each other and which are independent:

  • dependent tasks: The return value from one task is required to start the next task, these must be completed in a specific order - .then
  • independent tasks: These tasks do not use each other's return values, they can be completed at the same time - Promise.allsystem.

• [x] 🐣 You can fetch data from an API and render it into the DOM using /api-calls, /handlers and async/await syntax.

• [x] 🐣 You can write unit tests for functions that return promises using async/await syntax.

• [x] - [ ] I have pushed my progress to my fork of exercises repo
