Task Programming in C# and .NET

At a high level, to understand asynchronous programming, you need to be familiar with task programming, efficient use of the async and await keywords, and a few more important topics. However, task programming is the first major step towards modern-day asynchronous programming. This book tries to simplify the topic with simple examples, Q&A sessions, and exercises

The book starts with an introduction to asynchronous programming and covers task creation and execution. Next, you will learn how to work with continuing and nested tasks. Next, it demonstrates exception handling with different scenarios. Towards the end, you will understand how to manage task cancellations through examples and case studies. After reading this book, you can write efficient codes for multithreaded, asynchronous, and parallel development in C#.

What You Will Learn:

• Dig deep into task programming which is an essential part of the concurrent and multithreaded developments.
• Learn modern-day C# features that are foundations of asynchronous programming
• How the advanced features in C# such as delegates, lambdas, generics, etc. can be used in concurrency
