Today we talk about asynchronous operations in 'Promises', in addition to async and await.

A JavaScript Promise object be in one of four states:

• Pending - While a Promise object is "pending" (working), the result is undefined.
• Fulfilled - When a Promise object is "fulfilled", the result is a value.
• Rejected - When a Promise object is "rejected", the result is an error object.
• Settled - While a Promise object has been "settled", the result is a value or error object.

The Promise object supports two properties: state and result.

The keyword await before a function makes the function wait for a promise, while the keyword async before a function makes the function return a promise. The async and await make promises easier to write.

This episode we discuss three, modern front end JavaScript frameworks you should look into as you progress your career as a developer. React, Angular, and Vue are the most popular frameworks and we break down what a framework vs. library is, an overview of each, the career prospects among these three, and our own personal choices/thoughts!

1. Angular - https://angular.io/
2. React - https://reactjs.org/
3. Vue - https://vuejs.org/

Each have their benefits and their pain points, but you can't go wrong learning any of these three!

This episode we discuss some more nuance features of JavaScript. Like, what is 'this'?

The JavaScript 'this' keyword refers to the object it belongs to.

• In a method, this refers to the owner object.
• Alone, this refers to the global object.
• In a function, this refers to the global object.
• In a function, in strict mode, this is undefined.
• In an event, this refers to the element that received the event.
• Methods like call(), and apply() can refer this to any object.

For the second half we dive deep into dating! We share our experiences, what we like, what we don't like, and more!

This episode we go back into the technical, and we discuss Object-Oriented Programming! Today we talk about how to cultivate your dev story! We talk about why we use it and the four pillars of OOP.

The four pillars of object-oriented programming are:

• Abstraction - To abstract something away means to hide away the implementation details inside something – sometimes a prototype, sometimes a function. So when you call the function you don't have to understand exactly what it is doing.
• Encapsulation -Removing access to parts of your code and making things private is exactly what Encapsulation is all about (often times, people refer to it as data hiding).
• Inheritance - Inheritance lets one object acquire the properties and methods of another object. In JavaScript this is done by Prototypal Inheritance.
• Polymorphism - Polymorphism means "the condition of occurring in several different forms." That's exactly what the fourth and final pillar is concerned with – types in the same inheritance chains being able to do different things.

During our second half we discuss our New Year's Resolutions in coding/developing and in general.
