Welcome to syntax in this Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday hasty treat we're going to be talking about some Javascript buzzwords that can send new

Developers old developers and intermediate developers into a tizzy because they can just be hard to understand. My name is Scott

I'm a developer from Denver Colorado and with me as always is the U.S. boss. Hey, I'm excited to get into some of these. I don't necessarily know if they're buzzwords, but they're words that are sometimes hard to understand what they mean in Javascript. Yeah, jargony jargon. Yeah. So

This episode is sponsored by two amazing companies today. I'm talking about fresh books and century. Now century is the perfect place to see all of your errors and exceptions happen because

They give them to you in a giant table that is really great to be able to be filtered or saved or marked as resolved or marked as ignored or do any of those things that you would possibly want to do whenever an error comes into your site.

You can also assign them to a GitHub issues directly. Hey, is there one person in particular who goofed this thing up? Hey, you can go ping them and assign it to them. If you say, hey, you, uh, you did this and you know how I know you did this.

Well, it was introduced in this specific PR that you made, but of course, you don't want to do that a non blamie or judgment away. You're going to be very nice about it.

And you can do all of that over at century dot I owe use the coupon code at tasty treat all over case in all one word. If you want to handle your errors and exceptions track and make sure that your users are eating the best possible version of your site like a pro.

So thank you so much for century for sponsoring.

What else was sponsored by fresh books, the cloud accounting solution. I'm going to focus in on one of their features today, which is it's entirely a cloud based service, meaning that your computer crashes. You lose all your files. You don't have backups. We know how you are.

You're not going to lose any of this vitally important information because that would be a bad bad day if you had to do your taxes or you had to bill a client and the information about all of that stuff was gone.

So fresh books saves it all in the cloud. You can access it on the website and on the app. Whatever it is that you need. Don't have to sweat about it. Check it out freshbooks.com forward slash syntax for 30 day, no credit card required trial. Thank you, fresh books for sponsoring sick.

All right, let's get into doing some talking about some buzzwords here. So we've got a whole bunch of synchronous synchronous multi threaded concurrent and parallel consecutive and waterfall call back blocking a sink to fur and lazy. So these are all words in JavaScript.

And they all kind of sort of are in the same space of when do things happen and understanding what they mean and the implications of them is what we're going to try to break down and explain in this episode.

So the first one is I think we have synchronous and asynchronous. And these are words that are used both in programming, which can be a little bit confusing, but also if you I like to refer to them in real life. So if you are doing something

synchronously in your work, it doesn't mean do them at the same time, which is really weird because if you think about synchronized swimming.

Those people are swimming at the same time. And I don't understand why it is I've talked about this before I even tweeted it out earlier. Nobody seems to know why it's not called a synchronized swimming.

But the idea with something being synchronous is that they are explicitly done one after another and you cannot do the next thing until the first one is finished.

And the idea with a synchronous work is that you can start something. It will go off and do it and then come back to you when it is. So this is not to be confused with awaiting because awaiting kind of makes a synchronous functions
