Asynchronous Programming Model
Kyle Burns · Apress eBooks · 2012
Windows applications are intended to be used in a connected world where having the application request data from a server halfway around the world is a common occurrence. To keep applications responsive, whether waiting for data from a remote server or from a file on the local hard drive, many of the WinRT libraries have been built around an asynchronous model. This chapter discusses that model and considerations that you must make as a developer to successfully program against it.
