Valeriya: Asynchronous Programming , 3weeks

[V-Valkiriya]

my stop-watch project my stop-watch project-2 my user-API project my todo list app my todo list app-2

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.

• [ ] 🐣 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

Week 1

• [x] I did stopWatch project stopWatch project-2(repetition, as YouTube tutorial)

I Need Help With:

• don`t need help now

What went well?

• understanding setTimeout and setInterval function, solving exercises.

What went less well?

• stop-watch project was difficult for me. At first I did as in tutorial on YouTube, then I did it like in Samir`s repo.

Lessons Learned

• setTimeout
• setInterval
• clearTimeout
• clearInterval
• zero delays
• stop-watched js project

Sunday Prep Work

• Read about it :smile_cat:

Week 2

• [x] I did my user-API project

I Need Help With:

• don`t need help now

What went well?

• understanding new Promise, solving exercises.

What went less well?

• user API project. My self-made version didnt work. I watched Samirs solution, read about what I didn`t understand and repeat.

Lessons Learned

• new Promise(resolve, reject) => { .then .catch }

Sunday Prep Work

• We have holidays 🎉

Week 3

• [ ] I did not, I have a few event listeners and API left. I plan to finish it by Sunday my ToDo List

I Need Help With:

• https://github.com/V-Valkiriya/asynchronous-programming/blob/master/05-thinking-parallel/2-promise-dot-all/exercises/4-contact-info.test.js (I can`t get right tests with errors)

What went well?

• understanding new Proise.all, await, fetch. I have completed all the tasks to 08 module (01-07), I plan to finish 08 module by Sunday.

What went less well?

• API objects, writing new codes with await and fetch.

Lessons Learned

• async ( )
• await Promise.all( )

Sunday Prep Work

• It will be on Saturday.

Hello @V-Valkiriya Really nice progress! Entering the async world can be a bit challenging, still is it really Promising ;-)

Please let me know if you need a bit of explanation via Slack, I'll be very happy to help :)
