I know this is out of topic, but I just wanted to know what are the settings and theme that Jeffrey is used to his code editor?

An excellent course.

As far as Asynchronous JavaScript (Promises, async/await)

Look at the Fetch JS Docs:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API/Using_Fetch

And look over Axios JS Docs.

Here just a test I did using axios js to add a record.

    const buttonForm = document.getElementById("submit");
    buttonForm.addEventListener("click", async (event) => {
        event.preventDefault();
        const thisForm = document.getElementById('add');
        var formData = new FormData(thisForm);
        var url = '<?php echo DIR . "dog/addjs"; ?>';

        axios({
            method: "post",
            url: url,
            data: formData,
            //headers: axios figures it out
        })
                .then(function (response) {
                    if (response.status === 200) {
                        alert(response.status);
                    }
                    console.log(response);
                })
                .catch(function (response) {
                    //handle error
                    console.log(response);
                });

    });

For a real error response:

                    .catch(error => {
                        if (error.response) {
                            isJson(error.response.data);
                            showData(error.response.data);
                        }
        function showData(data) {
            var div = document.getElementById('msg');
            document.getElementById("msg").style.display = "block";
            for (var key in data) {
                div.innerHTML += " " + data[key];
            }
        }

function showData is reusable, used to display errors in a div.

Like anything, Javascript is easy once learned.

Is it possible to have a Vanilla JavaScript series focused on modern, practical usage without relying on frameworks.

The goal is to strengthen our core JavaScript fundamentals, including topics such as:

DOM manipulation and events

ES6+ features and best practices

Asynchronous JavaScript (Promises, async/await)

Performance considerations

Writing clean, reusable, and maintainable JS

This would be especially valuable for improving our day-to-day development work and reducing dependency on libraries where plain JavaScript is sufficient.
