Wait, What? C# Async-Await Explained

I've probably written a thousand async-await functions, and you probably have, too. But I have a confession to make: it wasn't until quite recently that I understood what async-await actually does and what purpose it really serves. In this presentation, I want to take you through my own discovery process and give you some insight into this very common, but often misunderstood, C# language feature. Along the way, we'll explore how async-await relates to other concurrent programming concepts in C# such as Tasks, Threads and Parallel-For. Use .NET mascot.
