This book shows how to write effective multithreaded and asynchronous software in C#. Nir Dobovizki demonstrates practical techniques, real-world examples, and useful code samples to cut through the confusion around async/await and help you write rapid, reliable, and bug-free code. The book focuses on the practical use of the C# async-await feature to simplify asynchronous tasks. It teaches how to avoid common pitfalls, addresses classic multithreading issues like deadlocks and race conditions, and advanced topics such as controlling thread of execution and using thread-safe collections.
