In this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart teaches us how to use Promises, with a capital P to get promises when we already know the value we want to supply. That sounds funny but it will make sense in context. Then he shows us how we can control parallelization of promises using Promise.all(). It’s […]

Glitch.com Web Learning Tool Review by Caleb Fong
Originally I was going to compare Codepen to Glitch, but then I discovered a feature of Codepen that I didn’t realize was there and have to re-evaluate my original comparison. So today … it’s just focused on glitch.com. But I’m getting ahead of myself. What’s the problem to be solved? Namely web hosting. Server husbandry […]

Bart Busschots (successfully) explains the concept of JavaScript promise chains. It’s a rough ride because of the subject itself, but he gets us there through his care and detail in explaining the concepts and of course his great examples. When he’s done, you’ll know how to chain promises together, you’ll understand what data is passed […]

I start the show by trying to convince you to write by hand instead of with a keyboard when you’re trying to think. I wrote up a stor called Tesla Tech, this one sadly entitled, “How to Get Your Tesla Repaired After an Accident”, but alert listener Kevin M pointed out that I totally forgot […]

Bart Busschots and I both had a great time doing the challenge this week. In this week’s installment Bart takes us through his homework not in a detailed step-by-step method, but rather he goes through some major structural ways he created his code. He digs deep enough to explain why but it’s a great lesson […]

Bart Busschots starts this week’s episode with a great refresher on what a callback actually is (because I have remained mystified by the term). He starts with simple examples and then shows us how we’ve been using callbacks all along and just didn’t realize it. Then he’ll walk through the challenge solution and the extra […]

In this week’s episode, we have another in our series Programming By Stealth with Bart Busschots. We’ll spend the majority of our time talking about Bart’s solution to last week’s challenge. It’s a great refresher on the methods he’s taught us in the past, all rolled together with our newfound skills with Mustaches and templating. […]

In this episode of Programming By Stealth we get the foundation to start learning about AJAX. Bart gives us an overview of HTTP that is really interesting. I learned so much that I didn’t know about what you can see in a URL. I know this sounds super nerdy but I loved learning about query […]
