/* Extend the Underscore object with the following methods */

// Rate limit ensures a function is never called more than every [rate]ms
// Unlike underscore's _.throttle function, function calls are queued so that
//   requests are never lost and simply deferred until some other time
//
// Parameters
// * func - function to rate limit
// * rate - minimum time to wait between function calls
// * async - if async is true, we won't wait (rate) for the function to complete before queueing the next request

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST', // Use POST with X-HTTP-Method-Override or a straight PUT if appropriate.
    dataType: 'json', // Set datatype - affects Accept header
    url: "http://example.com/people/1", // A valid URL
    headers: {"X-HTTP-Method-Override": "PUT"}, // X-HTTP-Method-Override set to PUT.
    data: '{"name": "Dave"}' // Some data e.g. Valid JSON as a string
});

/* Some clients do not support PUT or it’s difficult to send in a PUT request. For these cases, you could POST the request with a request header of X-HTTP-Method-Override set to PUT. What this tells the server is that the intended request is a PUT. Obviously this relies on the API you are accessing making use of the X-HTTP-Method-Override Header.*/

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written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.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

Advanced SCSS

Or, 16 cool things you may not have known your stylesheets could do. I'd rather have kept it to a nice round number like 10, but they just kept coming. Sorry.

I've been using SCSS/SASS for most of my styling work since 2009, and I'm a huge fan of Compass (by the great @chriseppstein). It really helped many of us through the darkest cross-browser crap. Even though browsers are increasingly playing nice with CSS, another problem has become very topical: managing the complexity in stylesheets as our in-browser apps get larger and larger. SCSS is an indispensable tool for dealing with this.

This isn't an introduction to the language by a long shot; many things probably won't make sense unless you have some SCSS under your belt already. That said, if you're not yet comfy with the basics, check out the aweso

$ npm install
$ ./node_modules/.bin/webpack-dev-server
$ open http://localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/

Notes:

• Note the trailing slash on the URL is significant. Without it webpack-dev-server shows a file listing page.
• You need 1.0.11 or later of webpack-dev-middleware for this URL to work. With earlier versions you need to specify the full URL like this: http://localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/index.html.
• To get a non-autoreloading version of the page use http://localhost:8080/index.html.
