.NET/C#: some starting posts on the `async` and `await` keywords
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/12/02
Last year’s summer, I posted some .NET/C#: some starting posts on the yield keyword and mentioned that async and await might be the most complicated compiler transform.
So here are some posts to learn more about async and await:
- C# Async: What is it, and how does it work?.
My initial reference from Clive Tong, one of the Reflector team members at Red Gate. - c# – Is Async await keyword equivalent to a ContinueWith lambda? – Stack Overflow.
Great starting question and answers, especially since the answers point to some very nice posts from Lucian Wischik, Eric Lippert, and Jon Skeet. - Awaiting Socket Operations – .NET Parallel Programming – Site Home – MSDN Blogs.
- Eduasync – Jon Skeet: Coding Blog.
Must read series on Async.
The state machine transformation:

- Async Await and the Generated StateMachine – CodeProject.
- Async in C# 5.0 > 14. The Async Compiler Transform—in Depth : Safari Books Online.
- Async in C# 5.0 – Alex Davies – Google Books.

Don’t forget you need C# 5 for all this (:

Cool stuff. How’s everything going? I’ll ‘await’ your response. :-)
