Getting Async with C# 5
- Kevin Jones

Asynchronous applications are becoming more relevant, and the need and justification of them is hard to ignore. Users are demanding better experiences with applications, and applications need to make the most out of the resources they are given. Once time consuming and difficult to write, the new C# 5 async functionality built on top of the Task Parallel Library finally makes asynchronous development a full class citizen in the language. We'll explore what it is, how it is doing it, and why we will all benefit from it.

Kevin Jones is an Team Lead and Senior Consultant for LogicBoost, a leading software development company based in Washington DC.
