Session Abstract

Knowing the event loop in JavaScript makes the difference between knowing what’s going on and praying that everything works. In this presentation we will try and cover the inner-works of JavaScript, how the one thread ( that did not sign up for this job ) in the browser handles execution of instructions, what happens if we try running things asynchronously and why the event loop is important in this delicate cycle.
