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
