Lip Sync to the Async in JavaScript
This session takes a look at how JavaScript manages asynchronous events and some of the ways developer decisions may work for or against them.
What you'll learn
There is a unique world where single-threaded JavaScript manages to become much more. JavaScript interacts with its environment in ways that allow it to handle asynchronous activities. Using several code examples that shouldn’t be new to most front-end developers, we will examine these scenarios in a unique way to show how the interactions truly work. If you are an experienced developer or new to the field, there is something in this presentation for you. This session takes a look at how JavaScript manages asynchronous events and some of the ways developer decisions may work for or against them. This discussion will examine the ways that JavaScript coordinates and manages events using several coding examples and we can determine which are good, bad, or ugly.
