First, setup a git alias:

% git config --global alias.project-name 'config --replace-all project.info.name'

Use it like this (your CWD should be a git project):

% git project-name "NodeJS Latest"

UMD-Inspired JS Module Boilerplate

This is the module format you don't know you need until you need it. Write your module once and have it work in a CJS/NodeJs, AMD, YUI (v3+), or Browser Global environment.

Best Used When...

• You are migrating from namespaced (err, globals) code to either AMD or CJS modules or both.
• You can't yet factor out browser globals but also need to test your code via NodeJS (e.g. Mocha).

Benefits & Trade-offs

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written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.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