Chapter 8. Going Asynchronous
Asynchronous operations are an important part of JavaScript application development, for both server-side and client-side code. It's time to dig in and learn what exactly they are, how they work, when they might surprise us, and how CoffeeScript can help us make the best of it.
We will:
Understand what makes asynchronous operations special
Fetch information from a remote API to use in our application
Make multiple requests to the API at the same time
Use a third-party library to make these requests easier
