00:00:01.790 --> 00:00:05.700
<v ->Let's now continue learning important JavaScript features.</v>

2
00:00:05.700 --> 00:00:08.670
And one topic that we haven't touched yet

3
00:00:08.670 --> 00:00:10.863
is asynchronous JavaScript.

4
00:00:11.780 --> 00:00:14.960
So, the goal of asynchronous JavaScript

5
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:18.860
is basically to deal with long-running tasks,

6
00:00:18.860 --> 00:00:21.690
that basically run in the background.

7
00:00:21.690 --> 00:00:25.830
And the most common use case of asynchronous JavaScript

8
00:00:25.830 --> 00:00:28.970
is to fetch data from remote servers,

9
00:00:28.970 --> 00:00:32.040
in so-called AJAX calls.

10
00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:35.290
And so, that's what we will do in this section,

11
00:00:35.290 --> 00:00:37.980
while learning everything there is to learn

12
00:00:37.980 --> 00:00:42.820
about Promises, the fetch function, async await,

13
00:00:42.820 --> 00:00:44.123
and error handling.

14
00:00:44.990 --> 00:00:48.550
So this is yet another really exciting section,

15
00:00:48.550 --> 00:00:50.215
and so let's get started.

16
00:00:50.215 --> 00:00:52.798
