Callbacks, Promises and Async Functions

To run the app first run:

npm install

then to lunch the server using each pattern you could do:

npm run callbacks

or:

npm run promises

or:

npm run async-await

Where to start

Promises helped us with the painful experience we had with Callbacks and now Async functions allows to simply await on a Promise. We will cover all the three patterns with live coding to see how easy it is to write a cleaner code using async/await.

In this workshop we will be implementing CRUD using Callbacks, Promises and ES2016 async/await functions.

What you'll learn:

How to get the most out of error-first callbacks. The art and science of error handling when using callbacks. How to use promises. How Async functions could be helpful to write cleaner and more readable code.

Perfect if you:

Have some experience in node.js.
Have used error-first callbacks.
Are slightly familiar with promises; there will be enough content provided to help you master promises.
Are willing to learn how to write clean and reliable asynchronous code.

How to prepare:

Anyone is welcome to join and watch, but if you'd like to code along (recommended):

clone the repository, run git checkout callbacks && npm install && npm start and join the cloud 9 workspace at time of the workshop!
You could find more about promises on http://promisejs.org/.
