Cloud9 IDE Touch Enabler Monkeypatch
/**
* A proof of concept monkeypatch to make Cloud9 IDE work on a tablet.
* Since i'm an extremely lazy bastard I prepended this snippet directly in package/client/js/apf_release.js
*
* What does it do?
* - It fires a doubleclick for a 2-finger tap
* - It fires a mousewheel up / down event for a 2-finger swipe up / down.
*
* How does it work?
* Prepend the functions below to <cloud9>/package/client/js/apf_release.js, save, load in tablet.

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written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.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