JavaScript promises

Hi all,

I wrote a short blog post about promises in JavaScript. Hopefully someone may find it useful.

http://www.caseyy.org/keeping-your-promises-some-practical-tips-for-javascripters/

I am going to try to do more of this, and would really appreciate feedback on style, writing etc.. if you've got time.

Thanks!

Nice looking and quite readable :+1:

You might want to add a few more examples and explanations early on, like where you first mention Promise, you say "To this you pass a function with two parameters" but that's not what is shown in the example.

Then where you introduce .catch() you mention that it "works just like .then." but there was not any explanation of what .then() is or how it is used prior to that (it had appeared in an example but without any comment).

So overall, excellent form, and a few opportunities to improve on content.
