Full Stack Web Development MASTERY Course - Novice to Expert - Synchronous Versus Asynchronous in Node.js

The video tutorial explains the difference between synchronous and asynchronous code in Node.js. It uses a real-world example of making pancakes and milkshakes to illustrate asynchronous processes. The tutorial then demonstrates synchronous file reading using Node.js, highlighting the top-down approach and potential delays. It concludes with an asynchronous file reading example, showing how it improves user experience by not waiting for processes to complete before displaying results.

Describe how the asynchronous file read operation is implemented in Node.js.
