bitsize 1: What is an asynchronous operation?

There is already tons of articles and guides explaining asynchronous programming, one more is just going to contribute to the possible mess, instead the image above gives you a bitsized explanation that might be a good starting point to fully understand other in deep guides, or probably a good finalizer that makes everything you already know fit harmoniously

Personal Recommendations

If you want continue your exploration of asynchronous programming, these are the related posts (of tons I have read) that I personally liked a lot, in order:

1. A gentle introduction to multithreading Internal Pointers

2. Asynchronous programming in C# | Microsoft Docs

3. General asynchronous programming concepts Learn web development | MDN (mozilla.org)

4. JavaScript Visualized: Promises & Async/Await DEV Community

5. Concurrency, Parallelism, Threads, Processes, Async, and Sync Related? | by G. Abhisek | Swift India | Medium
