A simple question with a multitude of answers!

Presumably you are more interested in the gory details of async
programming, whereas most of this discussing has been about what the code
looks like.

The wikipedia articles, while not fantastic, aren't terrible:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_loop
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_I/O

Also, there's a great introduction at http://krondo.com/?page_id=1327 ;
which unfortunately comes wrapped as a twisted tutorial ;) (You can stop
reading a while in when it becomes twisted-specific).
