ASYNCIO is one Python subsystem for simple multitasking. I wouldn’t classify this library as fully mature and I was struggling greatly to absorb the concepts behind the function calls. I also found it difficult to get the function call syntax right without a bunch of trial-an-error.

I realized that at some point I would need to move some of my tasks to different multi-tasking subsystems. I’d been using the author’s web site for help and discovered the book set. It has provided me with both perspective and practical application of ASYNCIO.

If you don’t have a lot of time to waste learning about this topic and you aren’t into pain, I’d recommend the book set. Well worth the money for me.
