JavaScript: Promises vs async-await
The past of JavaScript was filled with callback hell. Promises gave a much needed relief to that, but resulted in a paradigm shift. While promises are powerful, they bring some problems along with them. The async-await model was built on top of promises, but changes the programming model yet again.
In this presentation we will focus on Promises and asyc-await and discuss the appropriate option to choose.
