Lesson 7 - Parallel Class and PLINQ in C# .NET
In the previous lesson, Asynchronous Programming in C# .NET - Async and await, we learned to use asynchronous programming. In today's C# tutorial, we're going to focus on parallel programming that we've already brought up in the form of Tasks.
Since version 4, the .NET Framework includes several high-level technologies built above threads. It's a certain abstraction that allows us to take advantage of the full performance of modern processors, and at the same time, the technology eliminates some of the thread issues.
