If you write a lot of asynchronous or event-driven code, you’re probably going to end up needing an asynchronous for loop. That is, a loop that runs each iteration sequentially but those iterations may contain non-blocking logic that must halt the loop until the async action resumes. In my case, I need the main loop [...]
This post is part of a series on event-driven programming. The complete series is: Events: they’re not just for the DOM, you know Observable objects Deferrable values Asynchronous methods First-leg round-up and final remarks Object lifecycle Asynchronous pipelines Testing event-driven apps Thus far all the articles in this series have focused on methods for structuring [...]

I’m doing my traditional birthday software announcement a little early this year, mostly because I really want to get this out and partly because I’m doing a lot of little bits of work on old projects at the moment and this is the only fancy new thing I’ve got to show. Spurred on by the [...]
