In this unit, we will discuss Asynchronous Programming, a method for computer programs (like our web apps) to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. We will introduce the concepts of concurrency, queues, and messaging systems to achieve our goal of adding a "long running" job functionality to our Flask API projects. We will also write a series of functions (the "Jobs API") to help us create, manage, and process tasks submitted by users.
