Deferreds offer a solution for abstracting non-blocking elements (such as the response to ajax requests) and achieve this by creating a ‘promise’ which aims to return a response at some point in the future.

In this first talk, we’re going to take a look at Promises (an interface of which a Deferred is an Implementation).

jQuery.Deferred(), introduced in version 1.5, is a chainable utility object that can register multiple callbacks into callback queues, invoke callback queues, and relay the success or failure state of any synchronous or asynchronous function.

These are issues before that have required a fair amount of work arounds but with 1.5 onwards we've got the jQuery Deferred Object. In this post I'll show you why this is so useful.

Very cool
