W02 Learning Activity: JavaScript async/await
Overview
JavaScript asynchronous programming is crucial for handling tasks like fetching data from servers, making API requests, or performing time-consuming operations without blocking the main execution thread. The async/await syntax simplifies working with asynchronous code, making it more readable and easier to understand. It allows you to write asynchronous code that looks and behaves like synchronous code, making it easier to reason about the flow of your program.
