The scenario:

• We are writing a digital textbook-reading app.
• Most of the time you have a "basic" license for your textbook, but one (and only one) of your computers can request an "enhanced" license.
• You can only print from the computer with the enhanced license.

The problem statement:

Example:

Jeffreys-MacBook-Air$ ant example
Buildfile: /Users/jsambells/Documents/example/build.xml
    [echo] Parsing properties
    [echo] greeting=Hello
    [echo] audience=world
example:

[echo] Hello world

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written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.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

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

/*
 * This script will download a package (and all of its dependencies) from the 
 * online NPM registry, then create a gzip'd tarball containing that package 
 * and all of its dependencies. This archive can then be copied to a machine
 * without internet access and installed using npm.
 *
 * The idea is pretty simple:
 *  - npm install [package]
 *  - rewrite [package]/package.json to copy dependencies to bundleDependencies
 *  - npm pack [package]
