The Event Loop

Visualizing the event loop is the best way to understand it. JS Tutor does not do this, and the debugger does not have a good visual for the event loop. To begin wrapping your head around the

1. Watch some videos about the event loop:
   • Coding Nomad - short clear example
   • Java Brains - restaurant analogy
   • Loupe (and Cloud Path, an example in Loupe)
   • In the Loop another full talk with visuals.
2. Study some examples in JSV 9000 (the examples in this folder)
   • Studying them in JSV 9000 will help see the event loop in action
   • JSV 9000 is a visualization tool inspired by Loupe, but is more complete and reliable
3. Study the examples in /isolate
   • They will go deeper into timeouts, promises and async/await
   • /isolate examples can only be studied in the debugger, not JSV 9000
