aviv - asynchronous programming module 21-23

• [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.
  • [x] This includes identify which tasks depend on each other and which are independent:
  • [x] dependent tasks: The return value from one task is required to start the next task, these must be completed in a specific order - .then
  • [x] 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.

Week 21

i have pushed my progress into the group practice repo

Check-In

I Need Help With:

writing my snippet for async and await. syntax is tricky and creating examples is not going well

What went well?

completed exercises with regular study group. we completed fake-fetching

What went less well?

no problems this week.

Lessons Learned

concept of asynchronous vs synchronous programming.

• new syntax
• callstack, eventflow tasks etc.
• promises, pending, results/rejects and errors.
• .catch() and .then()
• async/await a little bit

Sunday Prep Work

• keep studying/practicing
• finish async/await snippet

It can be tricky to grasp the syntax of Async and await. I'm sure by the end of the module we will get a well thought out snippet from you 🚀

Week 22

we have pushed our progress into the group practice repo

Check-In

I Need Help With:

still working on async/await snippet

What went well?

completed exercises with regular study group. we completed the pokemon section of /api

What went less well?

the first pokemon fetch was quite difficult for me. was able to solve it with the group but am not fully satisfied with my understanding of what we did

Lessons Learned

concept of api fetching and data handling.

• new syntax
• lots of object methods and object-related syntax
• async/await
• queries a little bit
• limits

Sunday Prep Work

• keep studying/practicing
• finish async/await snippet

Week 23

we have pushed our progress into the group practice repo

Check-In

I Need Help With:

going well so far

What went well?

completed exercises with regular study group. working on /9-reverse-engineering

What went less well?

wikipedia code is challenging, but i think with the group we can do it

Lessons Learned

concept of api fetching and data handling.

• new syntax
• queries
