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 […]

CCATP #595 — Bart Busschots on PBS 79 — Introducing JavaScript Promises
Bart has been promising us Promises for ages now and he finally fulfills his promise by explaining thenables. Promises are a tool to get us out of “callback hell”, which we experienced a while back. I think he made us suffer through that so we’d appreciate Promises. In this episode he shows us the beauty […]

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 […]

In this week’s Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots teaches us the last two concepts in Mustache, one of which is a real head bender and for me at least, the second was almost as hard. The first is how you can add an optional third argument to a Mustache view which is actually a function […]

In this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots teaches us about Mustache Templates. Mustache Templates are a library that allows you to input any string and output a string. Unlike the template tag for HTML5, Mustaches are not restricted to HTML snippets. Mustache isn’t the only game in town but it’s Bart’s favorite. I […]

Last time Bart teased us that we were going to learn about the template library called Mustache, but he realized that he needed to teach us about vanilla HTML 5 Templates first. He starts by showing the problem to be solved: how messy and error-prone it is to create HTML elements using jQuery. Then he […]

In this week’s installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots spends most of the time walking us carefully through each of the methods he used to solve the challenge from last time. He does a great job of reminding us of things we’ve learned, in some cases more than a year ago, and showing how […]
