Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Asynchronous JavaScript is everywhere, whether you're using Ajax,
AngularJS, Node.js, or WebRTC. This practical guide shows
intermediate to advanced JavaScript developers how Promises can
help you manage asynchronous code effectively-including the
inevitable flood of callbacks as your codebase grows. You'll learn
the inner workings of Promises and ways to avoid difficulties and
missteps when using them. The ability to asynchronously fetch data
and load scripts in the browser broadens the capabilities of
JavaScript applications. But if you don't understand how the async
part works, you'll wind up with unpredictable code that's difficult
to maintain. This book is ideal whether you're new to Promises or
want to expand your knowledge of this technology. Understand how
async JavaScript works by delving into callbacks, the event loop,
and threading Learn how Promises organize callbacks into discrete
steps that are easier to read and maintain Examine scenarios you'll
encounter and techniques you can use when writing real-world
applications Use features in the Bluebird library and jQuery to
work with Promises Learn how the Promise API handles asynchronous
errors Explore ECMAScript 6 language features that simplify
Promise-related code
A vastly informative and rare early-American pioneer autobiography
rescued from obscurity. In this remarkable memoir, Daniel Parker
(1781-1861) recorded both the details of everyday life and the
extraordinary historical events he witnessed west of the
Appalachian Mountains between 1790 and 1840. Once a humble
traveling salesman for a line of newly invented clothes washing
machines, he became an outspoken advocate for abolition and
education. With his wife and son, he founded Clermont Academy, a
racially integrated, coeducational secondary school--the first of
its kind in Ohio. However, Parker's real vocation was as a
self-ordained, itinerant preacher of his own brand of universal
salvation. Raised by Presbyterian parents, he experienced a
dramatic conversion to the Halcyon Church, an alternative,
millenarian religious movement led by the enigmatic prophet Abel
Sarjent, in 1803. After parting ways with the Halcyonists, he
continued his own biblical and theological studies, arriving at the
universalist conclusions that he would eventually preach throughout
the Ohio River Valley. David Torbett has transcribed Parker's
manuscript and publishes it here for the first time, together with
an introduction, epilogue, bibliography, and extensive notes that
enrich and contextualize this rare pioneer autobiography.
