It goes without saying that one of the largest challenges in JavaScipt is handling asynchronicity. Along come Async / Await, a language feature made popular by C#. Developers can now use the keyword await to write code in a synchronous fashion without blocking the main thread. The only catch is that the await keyword needs to be used in an async function. What if that were not the case? What if await could be used anywhere inside a JavaScript module? Myles follows the adventure of implementing the Top-Level await feature in the JavaScript language. From deep dives into module loading to a high level overview of socializing standards changes, he covers the process of what it takes to change the JavaScript language.

The secret weapon of serverless architectures is extremely fast deployments with zero downtime. Surgical deploys allow for updating a single function in place within 1 second. All this adds up to faster iterations, which means quicker turnaround and that equals: super stoked devs!

Learn to draw on the web with HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript. We'll use primitive shapes like rectangles, circles and lines to visualize data and create generative art. We'll get a taste of D3.js to design and animate our graphics. We'll also use D3 for simple mapmaking, learning the basics of spatial visualization and geographic projections.
