Asynchronous Programming (Session 1 of 4)

Session 1 – Foundations of Asynchronous Programming

In this first session, we establish the foundations needed to understand asynchronous programming in .NET. We explore the differences between synchronous and asynchronous execution and examine how processes, threads, and the .NET Thread Pool work together.
We then introduce Tasks and look at how they provide a higher-level abstraction for representing and managing asynchronous work.

Session 1
1 - Introduction, Processes and Threads
