This project includes 6 versions of a js script to request three random numbers and take their average. The different scripts use callbacks or promises, act sequentially or in parallel, and include a few other refactors (like using underscore js and $.each). Explore the scripts (located in the static/js/ directory) to see many ways to do the same thing. The random numbers are served by a simple flask app that adds a time delay to each request, and the total time taken is displayed.
To serve the random number endpoint, run python get_random.py from the terminal, and then go to http:https://localhost:5000/static/index.html in your browser.
