A few years ago I posted about some recommended reading for developers. The tooling I use has changed ever so slightly (NSubstitute replaces RhinoMocks) but the content is still completely relevant. More recently I provide my team with recommended reading specifically about async development.

The following links are some great articles to help developers up to speed on async development in addition to the previous post.
