Introduction to Async Programming
Async programming allows for more efficient execution of operations by allowing other operations to run while waiting for certain tasks to complete. It's highly useful in scenarios involving I/O operations, web requests, and much more!
🐸 Why Learn Async Programming?
- Handle multiple tasks simultaneously
- Improve application responsiveness
- Reduce idle time and increase efficiency
⬇️ Key Concepts
- Promises: Objects representing the eventual completion or failure of an asynchronous operation.
- Async/Await: Syntax to work with promises more easily, making asynchronous code appear synchronous.
- Callbacks: Functions passed into another function as an argument to be executed later.
