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written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.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

  IMPORTANT: Requires this version of jquery 
             until 1.3.3 comes out http://gist.github.com/186325

  ALSO:      This is very dirty still and has not been 
             abstracted for use. It is just solving our immediate problems.

  Use cases that must pass (and should be tested someday):
    * Clicking on links updates layout
    * Click around a bit and then use back/forward buttons
