Lesson 6 - Asynchronous Programming in C# .NET - Async and await
In the previous lesson, Tasks - Better Parallel Programming in C# .NET, we introduced Tasks. Today's tutorial is going to be about asynchronous programming, which has been new in C# since .NET version 4.5.
Asynchronous programming
We already know that if our application is performing a long-term operation (such as accessing a website), it stops responding to user requests for a while. We also know that when we solve this problem by using threads directly, it can be quite problematic and our application can get significantly complicated and harder to debug.
