There's a lot of confusion about async/await, Task/TPL and asynchronous and parallel programming in general, so Jeremy Clark is on a mission to inform developers on how to use everything properly.

There's a lot of confusion about async/await, Task/TPL, and asynchronous and parallel programming in general. So let's start with the basics and look at how we can call asynchronous methods using Task ...

Asynchronous programming has been around for quite a while now. The introduction of the async and await keywords in .NET enabled us to write programs that could take advantage of asynchrony with ease.

This is because the async and await mechanism in ASP.NET Core has been optimized and simplified: AspNetSynchronizationContext has been removed from ASP.NET Core for ease of use and performance.
