Sass/Less Comparison

In this document I am using Sass's SCSS syntax. You can choose to use the indented syntax in sass, if you prefer it, it has no functional differences from the SCSS syntax.

For Less, I'm using the JavaScript version because this is what they suggest on the website. The ruby version may be different.

Awesome PHP

Awesome PHP has been relocated permanently to its own Github repository. No further updates will made to this gist.

Please open an issue for any new suggestions.

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written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.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.

	# Summary
	# 1. Varnish will poll the backend at /health_check to make sure it is
	# healthy. If the backend goes down, varnish will server stale content
	# from the cache for up to 1 hour.
	# 2. Varnish will pass X-Forwarded-For headers through to the backend
	# 3. Varnish will remove cookies from urls that match static content file
	# extensions (jpg, gif, ...)

	backbone: what you'd normally use jquery plugins for, but with an inverted rendering process (js -> DOM instead of DOM -> js)
	"islands of richness", jquery data callbacks main pattern.

	other frameworks are building out from jQuery's central pattern of DOM selection and event callbacks.
	fantastic pattern for adding behavior to documents, but we aren't writing documents.
