Description
Node.js was built to run on a single thread using non-blocking I/O calls. Building apps for this environment requires extensive use of asynchronous code. In this course, Async Patterns in Node.js, you'll learn multiple techniques to write efficient asynchronous code using modern JavaScript. First, you’ll explore how the Node event loop works and how to write asynchronous code with callbacks that adhere to conventions followed in the Node community. Next, you’ll discover how to use Promises and the async/await keywords to write asynchronous code that’s easier to read. Finally, you’ll learn how to write event-driven code with EventEmitters and use worker threads to tackle CPU-intensive tasks in your Node apps. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of asynchronous programming necessary to build performant Node apps using accepted best practices.

Course Overview
[Autogenerated] Hey, everybody. My name is Bryce Wilson, and welcome to my course a sync patterns in Node.js I'm a server and client side web developer. Note is an increasingly popular choice for developers that want to build fast, responsive server applications. The single threaded nature of the node event Luke makes writing asynchronous code an essential skill for every no developer. The techniques for writing a synchronous code in JavaScript have evolved over the years, and I'll show you some classic syntax as well as all of the most modern approaches. Some of the major topics that will cover include using callback functions, promises and the A sync and await keywords, creating and responding to events with event emitters and taking advantage of worker threads. By the end of the course, you'll have a solid understanding of asynchronous programming patterns and node and when to use different techniques in your own projects. Before beginning this course, you should be familiar with the basics of JavaScript, but you certainly don't need to be an expert. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn asynchronous programming with E. A sync patterns in Node.js course at Pluralsight Yeah,
