MAIN PRESENTATION at 6:45: I'll Get Back to You: Task, Await, and Asynchronous Methods - Jeremy Clark

There's a lot of confusion about async/await, Task/TPL, and asynchronous and parallel programming in general. So let's start with the basics and look at how we can consume asynchronous methods using Task and then see how the "await" operator can makes things easier for us.

Along the way, we’ll look at continuations, cancellation, and exception handling.

Jeremy Clark makes developers better. By drawing on over 15 years of experience in application development, he helps developers take a step up in their skillset with a focus on making complex topics approachable regardless of skill level. He is a Microsoft MVP for .NET, and he has authored seven courses for Pluralsight, including "C# Interfaces", a course aimed at giving developers a clear understanding of abstraction. Jeremy lives in Southern California with 2 cats and a banjo. For more information, visit http://www.jeremybytes.com (http://www.jeremybytes.com/).
