Master Asynchronous JavaScript: Promises, Async/Await, Fetch API + Pokémon Project

Asynchronous JavaScript can be tricky to grasp, especially for beginners. Concepts like Promises, Async/Await, and the fetch API often seem abstract — until you build something real with them.

In my latest YouTube video, I break down asynchronous JS in the simplest way possible and walk you through how to use it in a real-world project. And what better way to learn than by building something fun… like a Pokémon Fetch App!


📌 What You'll Learn

✅ The difference between Promises and Async/Await

✅ How to use try...catch and finally for error handling

✅ Making real API requests with the fetch() method

✅ Applying everything by building a Pokémon project


⏱️ Chapter Breakdown

  • 00:00 – Introduction: What is Asynchronous JavaScript?
  • 01:10 – Promises, Async/Await, try…catch, then…catch…finally
  • 06:30 – API - Fetch
  • 10:39 – Pokémon Project (Hands-on section)

💡 Why This Video is Perfect for You

If you're learning frontend development or JavaScript, mastering asynchronous code is non-negotiable. Whether you're handling user interactions, loading data from an API, or building full-stack apps — you need these concepts in your toolkit.

This video blends theory and practice, so you'll understand the "why" and "how" behind the code — not just copy-paste your way through.


🧪 Project Preview: Pokémon Fetch App

In the final part of the video, you'll build a simple app that fetches Pokémon data from a public API. You’ll apply everything you’ve learned and see how it all works together.
