It's been so long that I can't remember the class names anymore.

If you have extensive experience in programming you may try out SICP if you find HtDP too slow.
Thanks! All these years I've heard people saying SICP is a steep hill to climb. Anyway, I think I'll purchase the book and see how it goes.
Both the book and the lectures are important!

async programming IS hard to get your head around. The resources you suggest are spot on. AND, async programming will really only click when you do lots of it. Read tons of async resources like the ones above, write lots of async code. One day you'll realise it's second nature.
Thanks a lot, I'll keep this in mind and try to write as much async code as possible. >One day you'll realise it's second nature. This is great but then the curse of knowledge hits you hard haha

Only write async code if the advantages outweigh the downsides, not just by default in order to do some training for yourself. Unless it is in a hobby project where training yourself is part of the goal.
Obviously if you're doing anything with a computer, Patterson & Hennesy is a must-read.

Of course it does, it makes it incompatible. If one claim explicitly rejects another claim, then the two claims aren't compatible.
The claims inside the framework don't need to be compatible, they're just religions.

So none of the exclusive claims of any religion to have the full truth are true, but your personal opinion about all of them is fully true? Your arrogance is unbearable.

I wrote this one over the course of a few months that summarized everything I could think of on the topic - https://www.taniarascia.com/asynchronous-javascript-event-lo...
I've your blog bookmarked and I'll be reading it this weekend haha. Thanks for putting it together! >Callbacks are not asynchronous by nature, but can be used for asynchronous purposes. Glad you mention this because some people make it since like callbacks are a de-facto asynchronous-based concept. Callbacks are simply anonymous functions or lambdas that you pass to asynchronous functions so you can work with the pro…
Callbacks are anonymous functions [or references to named functions] that you pass to asynchronous [or synchronous] functions so you can work with the produced values [or do anything else]
