Asynchronous Programming with Javascript

Slight improvement on the grading scheme in other similar MS courses, but not by much. Course material is alright, but about the same depth as a basic tutorial. For some reason Lab 3 requires you to sign up for Azure, and will require you to enter credit card details. These courses really need more thorough quality review/walkthroughs to fix the serious accessibility issues, but at least there are fewer typos in this course than previous offerings.

Ok, reducing rating to 1 star. As course instructions currently stand, assignments cannot be completed (you'll spend a lot of time screwing around with Azure), don't waste your time.

Content is pretty solid, as always a preference towards Microsoft tools/services to the degree it's unnecessary, but the courses are produced for a reason.

Content of the course is interesting, the subject touched can be used in real world website design, but.. Instructor is very concentrated on the presentation skills, rather then material itself. The code offered does not work as expected. Also you cannot download a source code and have to struggle with description of the code in order to produce the result. Assignment is just another fail. Students offered to present video show of working application. No code sharing, as explained in QandA - to prevent cheating?? We are here to learn, and also to find what solution was found by another student that gave similar results. I gave up after Week 4, because it is useless. I only repeated what I knew, and did not get any new ideas. My recomemndation - do not take this course, waist of time

Great course This was a really effective and efficient refresher on recent developments in JS. In particular, the modules on promises, the new fetch API, and generators were great. I also really like how the course wrapped up by putting it all together to show how you can use generators to good effect managing complex async code (for example, chained API calls with fetch). I hope they offer it again.

I like the course very much. Thanks to the very simple explanation it helped to understand asynchronous programming, callbacks, fetch API, Promises and Generators. I hope it will be updated with Async function later.
