async and await
Richard Blewett, Andrew Clymer · Apress eBooks · 2013
In view of Windows 8’s mantra of “Fast and Fluid,” it has never been more important to ensure that UIs don’t stall. To ensure that UI developers have no excuses for not using asynchronous methods, the C# language introduces two new keywords: async and await . These two little gems make consuming and composing asynchronous methods as easy as their synchronous counterparts. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
