Asynchronous programming – async & await

Posted on November 7, 2012 by ambilykk

Asynchronous programming uses a single thread which will schedule a process in an asynchronous way. Program execution will continue and the UI will be responsive to the user. Typical scenario for an asynchronous programming is a long running process like data backup, bulk data processing, time consuming calculations, etc. We can schedule the time consuming work as an asynchronous task and the user can continue with his work.

    Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Kudos
