Elevator Pitch
Discover the JavaScript Event Loop, how it is built upon a Stack, Heap, and Queue, and how to break up heavy workloads to keep your application rendering at 60 FPS. While the Event Loop is typically an abstract concept, we’ll step through code synchronized with diagrams to make it more concrete.
Description
Discover the JavaScript Event Loop, how it is built upon a Stack, Heap, and Queue, and how to break up heavy workloads to keep your application rendering at a smooth 60 FPS. We’ll take a dive into some browser tools to visualize the execution of our code, examine a real-life interview question based on these concepts, and also explore how to offload CPU-intensive work to another JavaScript instance.
