Avoiding nested asynchronous calls in JS

This pattern is called deferred and promises.
Not to mention, there is a whole class of different methods to solving the callback hell problem that everyone is talking about.
An alternative library is async.js. However, it doesn't handle asynchronous calls via promises.
Another one is the Q library. This one uses promises just like jQuery. If you mix Q with async, you can get elegant asynchronous calls.

This applies to everything that involves repetition. It's called the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle.
