You're Missing the Point of Promises

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written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.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

Basic JavaScript MVC Implementation

Basic JavaScript MVC Implementation

Despite being derived from classical MVC pattern JavaScript and the environment it runs in makes Javascript MVC implementation have its own twists. Lets see how typical web MVC functions and then dive into simple, concrete JavaScript MVC implementation.

How Web MVC typically works

Typical server-side MVC implementation has one MVC stack layered behind the singe point of entry. This single point of entry means that all HTTP requests, e.g. http://www.example.com or http://www.example.com/whichever-page/ etc., are routed, by a server configuration, through one point or, to be bold, one file, e.g. index.php.

At that point, there would be an implementation of Front Controller pattern which analyzes HTTP request (URI at first place) and based on it decides which class (Controller) and its method (Action) are to be invoked as a response to the request (method is name for function and member is name for a variable when part of the class/object).

Backbone.mixin = function (obj, mixin) {
var source = obj.prototype || obj;
if (!mixin)
throw new Error('Backbone.mixin: The mixin specified is undefined.');
// merge all properties in the mixin into the view's prototype
_.defaults(source, mixin);
// merge object literal properties (ensure's events, bindings, and channels)
