Thanks for pointing this out. That chapter was a complete eye opener for me. When you're new to not just Node but programming itself - understanding the terms used is in itself a challenge. I'm writing my very first app and i chose to do it in Node. I started to suspect i was going to hit the problems described in this chapter very soon but i had no clue what terms to search or where to look.
At least now i know what control flow actually means, and while i havent understood the examples completely at least its given me enough of a taster to start thinking about it.
