Today Async, Await and Task are ubiquitous in C# code. But why? They simplify asynchronous programming. What is asynchronous programming and why use it? I'll show you! I'll explain asynchronous programming and demonstrate the efficiency gains. Then cover some specifics of Microsoft's Task-based asynchronous pattern including the need for 'ConfigureAwait(false)'. I'll also cover some common pitfalls including why not to use 'async void' methods.
