This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
 // the rest of your code goes here.

	// Pre-requisites:
	// 1. Device core plugin
	// 2. Splashscreen core plugin (3.1.0)
	// 3. config.xml: <preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="false" />
	// 4. config.xml: <preference name="DisallowOverscroll" value="true" />

	function onDeviceReady() {
	if (parseFloat(window.device.version) >= 7.0) {
	document.body.style.marginTop = "20px";
	// OR do whatever layout you need here, to expand a navigation bar etc

	FadeTransitionRegion = Backbone.Marionette.Region.extend

	DLog(@"setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:%@\n", command.arguments);

	self.callbackId = command.callbackId;

	NSMutableDictionary* options = [command.arguments objectAtIndex:0];

	int badge = [[options objectForKey:@"badge"] intValue] ?: 0;
	[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:badge];

	var Artist = Backbone.Model.extend();

	var Artists = Backbone.Collection.extend({
	model : Artist,
	url : "http://api.discogs.com/database/search?type=artist",
	sync : function(method, collection, options) {
	// By setting the dataType to "jsonp", jQuery creates a function
