Kraig Brockschmidt has a nice intro to the async model for Windows Store apps, focusing on JavaScript: All about promises (for Windows Store apps written in JavaScript).

 var promise1 = someOperationAsync();
 var promise2 = promise1.then(function completedHandler1 (result1) { return 7103; } );
 promise2.then(function completedHandler2 (result2) { });
