Dear Max, if one day the planet earth becomes a harmonious civilization, set free from evil, it will be thanks to people like you. Whether you realize it or not, you are making the world a better place by the way you teach because it speaks to me and all your students not only on an educational level but also in a way that makes me love my work more than I could ever love it on my own. It is because of people like you who make learning fun and spreading high quality education to those who are less fortunate, they will one day become excellent programmers one day capable of providing for their families whose kids will become just as good as them. Thank you so much for all your work.

async await is similar feature in C#. Ohh my :) Loving your lectures

[@POWEROVERWWW]

My last project was to develop an Android POS terminal. I adopted React Native. Because the terminal SDK is written in Java Native, I had to wrap it up as React Native modules, using usual callbacks. I didn't think I would encounter callback hell but it became a true hell. So, I looked for a solution found a way to make the React Native modules return promises. Afterwards I replace all the callbacks to async/await and my code became much more concise and readable.

[@workingTchr]

We should be clear that the asynchronicity in the first example comes from the timeout functions themselves and not from the callback structure. The timeouts do a lot more than just use up time. They permit execution to continue. If we put a heavy computation in place of the timeout, nothing would happen until that computation was finished.

[@workingTchr]

Please ignore my above comment. I was under the (wrong) impression that starting an "asynchronous" operation meant starting a NEW thread of execution that ran along side the main thread. No. "Asynchronous" in javascript just means changing THE ORDER in which parts of code get executed. With promises you can make part A (which is written before part B) execute after part B. But then I really don't see what all the fuss is about. If you want A to run after B, just WRITE A after B, and leave it at that.

[@deepakkothari935]

Nicely explained. However, what would make these examples specially the aync await good is to show the real asynchronous behavior by showing there is something else happening in parallel while we are waiting the 2 seconds. In the examples we just see that we are waiting for the previous function to finish and then the next line gets executed. The examples feel we are waiting for 2 secs and nothing is happening in those 2 secs

[@mohsenmadi3590]

Hi Max. Regarding Async/Await. Putting "await" in front of checkAuth() forces us not to proceed to the next statement until checkAuth() is done. But, removing it does the same thing! What is the difference between this code and the straight forward synchronous code then? I removed the "await"'s it worked the same! I then removed the "async" and it still worked, the same way! I don't get it I am afraid.

[@weisanpang7173]

Hello Max, Great video on explaining various ways of handling async events in javascript. Simply one of the best. I have a question. On using the new Promise() object constructor to create a new promise object, an function argument is used in the Promise() constructor. The function argument takes 2 arguments, resolve and reject. In your example the resolve argument was used as a function. My confusion is, where is 'resolve' defined? If resolve is a built in keyword, then why is it needed in the argument for constructing the new promise Object? Thanks.
