 ## Concepts 
 
-#### Task
+### class `Task`
 * A Task in its most simple form is a function that is executed when the task runs.
 * A Task can have a **preTask** and an **afterTask**
   (those are run before or after the main function whenever the task is called)

 * Task.triggered() is an Observable stream that emits events every time a task call is called and every time a call is completed.
 * Task is compatible to gulp streams.
 
-#### Taskchain
-* Multiple Tasks can be combined in a bigger task using a Taskchain. Taskchain extends Task.
+### class `TaskChain`
+* TaskChain extends Task.
+* Multiple Tasks can be combined in a bigger task using a TaskChain.
+* While the tasks are async in themselve, TaskChain **runs Tasks serialized** (one after the other)
+* that means that tasks can rely on each other and 
 
+### class `TaskParallel`
+* TaskParallel extends Task.
+* like TaskChain, however **tasks run in parallel**
+* Tasks cannot rely on each other.
+
+### Usage
+We highly recommend TypeScript as this module supports **TypeScript intellisense**.
+```
+import * as taskbuffer from "taskbuffer";
+
+myTask = new taskbuffer.Task({
+  preTask: someOtherTask // optional, don't worry loops are prevented
+  afterTask: someOtherTask // optional, don't worry loops are prevented
+  name:"myTask1",
+  taskFunction:() => {
+    // do some stuff and return promise
+    // pass on any data through promise resolution
+    // Use TypeScript for better understanding and code completion
+  }
+})
