True or False: Async / Await is multi-threading? False. They are asynchronous programming keywords within Microsoft’s ‘Task Based Asynchronous Pattern’ (TAP). Asynchronous programming improves efficiency by reducing the number of threads. I’ll show case the efficiency gains. Then cover the design and under-the-covers mechanisms of TAP. You will learn what ConfigureAwait(false) is for. I’ll also highlight some common pitfalls including why not to use ‘async void’ methods.
