Session Spotlight
A Beginner's Guide to Wrangling Asynchronicity in JavaScript
Wednesday, July 27, 2022 - 10:30 AM CDT, for 1 hour.
Regular, 60 minute presentation
Room: African 50
In this talk, Raymond will talk about how to handle asynchronous code in JavaScript applications. He'll demonstrate the problems you encounter, the older style solutions (callbacks), and show how to use promises and async/await to make your code easier to work with. This will be a beginner's level topic with a focus on *practical* use cases but will wrap up with links to more solutions and advanced discussion.
