JavaScript the Hard Parts @ Ticketmaster: Async & Promises

Ticketmaster has graciously offered to host this workshop at their headquarters in Hollywood! Join us to master asynchronous JavaScript and promises taught by our CEO and Co-Founder, Will Sentance.

This workshop will be a combination of live interactive lecture and pair programming through challenges. You will go under-the-hood of JavaScript, so you can confidently tackle new problems and work through blocks.

Our mental models of asynchronicity in javascript - the event loop, callback queue - are no longer enough. We have to augment them with the new world of native promises and async/await and understand them intuitively. In this session, we’ll do this so you can write readable code and debug effectively.

We will cover:

• The challenge with asynchronicity in JavaScript and how promises fix the problem of inversion of control

• Building a promise from scratch and understanding resolve, reject, then and done

Price: Always free!

Parking Info: Please park in our underground garage (entrance on Sycamore just south of Hollywood Blvd) and be sure to bring your ticket in with you so that I may ensure we validate it for you.
