The beginning of the programmers guide tries to give a overview of the
main components.

Yes.

The main points you need to grasp are:
- Cooperative multitasking by callback events. Instead of waiting for
something to happen callbacks is used to signal that a certain event has
taken place; network data available, DNS lookup completed, helper has
returned answer etc...
- The existence of the main select loop, where most callbacks gets
registered to get called when there is activity on a network connection.
Then from there is a number of different subcomponents to look at
depending on what part interest you most.
