Synchronous vs. Asynchronous vs. Parallel Programming
It is common knowledge that programming is a very abstract profession.
I found the easiest way for me to learn new topics is to create analogies for them in real life.
As a beginner developer, I am in no hurry to say that I understand all the depths of the different programming styles. When I tried to understand the differences between synchronous programming, asynchronous programming, and parallel programming, I came to a comparison that later helped me explain the issue to friends who were in the same situation.
Also, since my memory is visual and almost my entire form of learning is with the help of visual motifs, I thought it would be nice to make you a comic that explains the analogy.
I hope you find it helpful :)
