Practice.

Seriously, there are no particular difficulties in the ideas of
asynchronous programming.  If you've ever done any event-based
programming, even just `onClick=...`, then you've already made the
conceptual leap.  Now it's just a matter of practicing.

Write some code.  Take some synchronous API and start to imagine how
you'd have to change it if you wanted to allow certain parts to be
asynchronous.  Watch how this then spreads through various layers of
the API.  Write more code.  See what breaks.  Look at the various
Promises APIs. [1]  Investigate Dojo's Deferred or the jQuery
implementation.  Write more code.

That's all it takes (except that you'll probably want to write a bit
more code!).
