Now, before we actually use async/await, we're going to go ahead and run through an example that just uses promises. We're going to use techniques we already know to set up a little example project. Now, when people hear about async/await, they think that they need to forget everything they know about callbacks and promises, and that is not true. Async/await is not a third option; it is more like an enhancement for promises. We're going to go through an example using just regular old promises, things you already know how to do. Then we're going to see how async/await can enhance that code. So, to kick things off, we do need a place to put all of this. I'm going to make a brand new project on my Desktop, async-await.
We can crack that open in our editor and make sure to crack it open in your terminal as well. Now, the goal here is to just make a very simple project. We're not going to need any Node modules for this one and we are just going to need a...
