We provide course about Asynchronous Programming in C# in english. Discover the practical power of Asynchronous Programming in C# and gain the expertise needed to write responsive, efficient, and scalable applications.
Course description:
In today’s dynamic software landscape, mastering asynchronous programming is increasingly essential for writing faster, hardware-optimized applications. As multi-core CPUs are now standard, parallel processing is the key to unlocking performance. This comprehensive two-day course for seasoned C# and .NET developers will cover a wide range of topics, from threads, tasks and async / await to advanced features like task schedulers and asynchronous streams.
Included are plenty of hands-on exercises that enable you to master and apply the concepts of asynchronous programming. By the end of this course, you will understand how to use asynchronous techniques to optimize your applications’ efficiency, scalability, and responsiveness.
