Callbacks are simple and easy if you keep the pattern consistent.

You'll laugh when you see how little code is actually in this thing. It's so not-enterprisey, you won't believe it. It does almost nothing, but it's super handy.

I use this util in a real world program.

You should use it as an example of how to write your own flow control utilities. You'll never fully appreciate a flow control lib that you didn't write yourself.

Just copy the files into your project, and use them that way, or you can do this:

npm install slide

and then:

var asyncMap = require("slide").asyncMap
  , chain = require("slide").chain
// use the power!

Enjoy!
