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written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.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

| * (1) You provide an expression | |
| * (2) You provide what you "expect" that expression's result/outcome will be | |
| * (3) You express how you'd like to compare "expected" outcome to the actual outcome | |
| * (4) Your test should fail initially because you haven't yet writtne the code to support the positive outcome | |
| * (5) Refactor until the test passes | |

| @ChristinGorman gave this talk at JavaZone: https://vimeo.com/49484333 It's quite good, short, energetic, enthusiastic, | |
| intelligent, and completely misses the point. | |
| While it's true that the code she produces is much better than the original, and is quite easy to understand; it fails one | |
| critical test. It's not polite. | |
| Polite code is like a well written newspaper article. It allows you to bail out early. A well written article has a | |
| headline, a synopsis, and a set of paragraphs that begin with the high level concepts and get more and more detailed as you | |
| read through the article. At any point you can decide: "I get it! I don't need to read further." Indeed, this is how most | |
| people read newspapers or magazines. The articles are polite, because they allow you to get out quickly. |
