The third slide is out of date. 1.30 removed support for promises. All previously promised-based functions now take a callback parameter as their last argument instead, so the slide would be written:<p><pre><code> posix.rename("/tmp/hello", "/tmp/world",
function() {
posix.unlink("/tmp/world");
});
</code></pre>
There are a series of articles on howtonode.org about flow control in node and cleaner ways to do this. Not mentioned on howtonode, but Kris Zyp also implemented a CommonJS promises library on the node callback pattern.
If anyone has more information about the London Javascript Group I'd be really interested.<p>I thought the old one had died, and I haven't had any e-mail from the list in ages.
