</div>Your outline looks nice. Something that *really* helped me a lot<br>
with Deferreds was seeing how they are modelled after standard<br>
Python flow control behaviour. I guess that's what the first<br>
section your proposing is about.<br>
<br>
Jono Lange gave a presentation recently (can't remember what it was<br>
called... maybe something about being an evil hacker or about how<br>
your code sucks and he hates you) where he presented step-by-step<br>
slides that shows some normal Python code and then the asynchronous<br>
Deferred-using equivalent. Even though I understood the principles<br>
reasonably well before attending his talk, the way he presented them<br>
in his slides was very effective and helped me clarify that<br>
understanding. If he's willing, which I suspect he will be, I<br>
recommend you look at the slides and steal his good ideas. :)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
