A sink and a weight

In case you missed it, this week over on my YouTube channel I released a video on async and await…

I cover…

What they and how they work.
How async and await differ from Promise.then().
How to catch errors.
One of the most common gotchas when working with async and await.

And on a personal note, I think this may be my best YouTube thumbnail ever. I might as well just retire from making videos, because I’ll never do better than this!

A kitchen sink with the word 'async' over it on the left, and a kettlebell weight with the word 'await' over it on the right.

If you wanted to dive deeper in asynchronous code and working with APIs, I’ve got a bunch more resources on this topic in my members area digital garden.

They’re all curated from past articles on this site, if you’d prefer to search for them instead.
