                       There are lots of module patterns for [web browser](http://www.adequatelygood.com/2010/3/JavaScript-Module-Pattern-In-Depth) and [on the server](http://nodejs.org/api/modules.html). Some of them get very complicated. The ones shown here are what I consider to be the simplest to understand.

+                      ### What about promises?
+                        [Promises](http://domenic.me/2012/10/14/youre-missing-the-point-of-promises/) are a more abstract pattern of working with async code in JavaScript.
+
+                      The scope of this document is to show how to write vanilla javascript. If you use a third party library that adds abstraction to your JS then make sure you're willing to force everyone that contributes to your library to also have the same views on JS as you.

+                      In my own personal experience I like to use nice and simple callbacks for 90% of the async code I wrote, and when things get hairy I bring in something like the [async](https://github.com/caolan/async) library.
 
+                      That being said, everyone develops their own unique JavaScript style and you should do what you like. Just remember that there are no absolutes: some people like to use only callbacks, some people don't. You can't understand promises without understanding callbacks, but you can understand callbacks without understanding promises.
