Mastering JavaScript Promises

How do promise and deferred relate to each other?

So far, in Chapter 2, The JavaScript Asynchronous Model, we discussed promises and how they work. Let's have a look at how promises and deferred work:

1. Every deferred object has a promise that serves as a proxy for the future result.
2. A deferred object can be resolved or rejected by its caller, which separates the promise from the resolver, while a promise is a value returned by an asynchronous function.
3. The promise can be given to a number of consumers and each will observe the resolution incessantly, while the resolver/deferred can be given to any number of users and the promise will be resolved by the one that first resolved it.
