Leaving Callback Hell with Promises and ES7 async/await

Cross post from my employer's development blog: http://rootinc.github.io/2016/01/14/callback-hell/

Slides and code from my talk for the Toledo Web Proffessionals on 1/13/2016. It was a quick overview of how Promises in ES6 and async/await in ES7 can allow for much cleaner JavaScript coding.

Quick Deepstream.io Setup Using JSPM

Cross post from my employer's development blog: http://rootinc.github.io/2016/02/12/deepstream-jspm/
Want to use JSPM rather than Bower for running the Deepstream.io example? Follow these steps. This is basically a duplicate of the [Getting Started tutorial][tutorial] on the [Deepstream.io website][website] but using a really simple JSPM setup. This is a very crude guide where I list everything I had to do to get things running.

Create an empty project folder npm install deepstream.io Copy server code verbatim from the Getting Started guide jspm install npm:deepstream.io-client-js Hit enter for all the prompts from JSPM

Fancy FTP Deployment with Grunt

I recently dove into Grunt.js at work for automating our build process and I haven’t looked back. It’s an awesome tool with a plug-in for just about anything. I expected the usual would be there like JavaScript minification and concatenation, but I was surprised at a few others that I found, one being for FTP file deployment. Just shows how popular and community supported Grunt is.

There are a few FTP plug-ins available for Grunt. I didn’t do an analysis of all of them but ran across grunt-ftp-push which seemed to do what I needed so I decided to try it out. A simple ftp-push setup to upload an entire project via FTP could look like this:

grunt.initConfig({ftp_push:{all:{options:{host:'example.com',port:21,dest:'/project/path/',username:'user',password:'pass'},expand:true,cwd:'dist',src:['**/*','!**/*.zip']}}});
Some details here: I opted to put the username and password in the main config rather than using an .ftpauth file. The …
