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written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.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

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

// Usage: mongo {Server without mongodb:// example 127.0.0.1:27017}/{DbName} [-u {Username}] [-p {Password}] < ./mongo-ls.js

var collections = db.getCollectionNames();

  if(name.substr(0, 6) != 'system')
    print(name + ' - ' + db[name].count() + ' records');

WebSockets - An Introduction

WebSockets is a modern HTML5 standard which makes communication between client and server a lot more simpler than ever. We are all familiar with the technology of sockets. Sockets have been fundamental to network communication for a long time but usually the communication over the browser has been restricted. The general restrictions

• The server used to have a permanent listener while the client (aka browser) was not designated any fixed listener for a more long term connection. Hence, every communication was restricted to the client demanding and the server responding.
• This meant that unless the client requested for a particular resource, the server was unable to push such a resource to the client.
• This was detrimental since the client is then forced to check with the server at regular intervals. This meant a lot of libraries focused on optimizing asynchronous calls and identifying the response of asynchronous calls. Notably t

/*
In a fairly typical webapp data model you often want to send
the client different "views" of the data model.

Many database and caching tools require the base model to be quite
standard with json tags and types, so the following approach is
ideal:
