Can't get enough of deferreds and promises? Want lots more examples of interesting, cunning and mind bending ways to use promises and deferreds? As luck would have it, this:
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920030508.do http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920030508.do
...has just been published.
(N.B. I'm one of the authors - all feedback would be most welcome and apologies for the shameless plug).
- fourstar 13y agoI don't mean to shit on your book, but an entire book dedicated to jQuery deferreds? There is that much to say about them?
- ntoll 13y agoBuy it and you'll find out... ;-) I wrote this high-level piece of fluff as a taster for the Guardian's developer blog: http://www.theguardian.com/info/developer-blog/2013/sep/17/deferreds-and-promises-programming-javascript http://www.theguardian.com/info/developer-blog/2013/sep/17/d... "If Doctor Who were a programmer, he'd use deferreds!"
- terrycojones 13y agoIt's more a matter of learning how you can use them in various ways, and also of really getting into the habit of thinking with deferreds. I've been using them for about 7 years (mainly in Python) and I'm still finding interesting new ways to think about them, new tricks, etc. [Disclaimer: I'm also one of the book's authors.] BTW, if you use AUTHD as a discount code on the O'Reilly site, you'll get 50% off the e-book price or 40% off a dead tree version.
- jbeja 13y agoLoving the book, seriously the examples are easy to follow and realy well paced.
