Understanding JavaScript Promises - Community Edition

by Nicholas C. Zakas

The goal of this book is to explain how JavaScript promises work while giving practical examples of
when to use them. All new asynchronous JavaScript APIs will be built with promises going forward,
and so promises are a central concept to understanding JavaScript as a whole. My hope is that this
book will give you the information you need to successfully use promises in your projects.
