EPISODE 8 – async / await

Async and await make asynchronous JavaScript easier to read, write, and maintain. They transform complex async logic into clean, linear-looking code that feels almost synchronous.

In this video, you will learn:

• async/await is a modern way to work with asynchronous code in JavaScript.
• It is built on top of Promises, but hides the complexity behind cleaner syntax.
• Before async/await, chaining multiple .then() calls often made code hard to read and debug.
• Using await allows async code to be written in a top-to-bottom, story-like flow.
• Error handling becomes simpler and more readable using try...catch.
• async/await improves code readability, reduces bugs, and makes reviews easier.
• Developers who use async/await confidently write calmer, cleaner, and more professional code.

Understanding async/await is essential for working with APIs, handling network requests, and building scalable JavaScript applications.
