JavaScript with Promises

If you’re a developer moving to an environments that make heavy use of asynchronous APIs, such as Node, WinRT, or Chrome packaged apps, this book teaches you how to make use of promise constructs. JavaScript routinely supports asynchronous code, calling a function with no expectation of when a response might come back. Unfortunately, writing code in that style is difficult for humans, and promises are a key tool for bridging that gap. This book shows you how to use these tools, and also demonstrates techniques that enable you to use features like ?WebRTC.
