Ajax & APIs
If you have been following along with my articles, then you will have learned so much Javascript already. We started with basic function creation and advanced along into Scope, Hoisting, and Closures, Dom Manipulation, event listeners, new, this, callbacks, promises, and now we are able to use data from other people’s work and pull it into our very own projects using APIs. You are well on your way to becoming a front end Javascript developer with the tools we have demonstrated so far. In the next article we are going to work with CORS and Recipes.
Async Await
Async and Await are methods we can use to eliminate the use of static eventLoops/promises and callbacks.

In today’s article, we are going to create the ability to “type” font on the screen one character at a time using async, await, & recursion. On the homepage of drewlearns.com you can see this in action in the “hero section”.
