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written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.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

	// set-up a connection between the client and the server
	var socket = io.connect();

	// let's assume that the client page, once rendered, knows what room it wants to join
	var room = "abc123";

	socket.on('connect', function() {
	// Connected, let's sign-up for to receive messages for this room
	socket.emit('room', room);
	});
