Async is a powerful feature added to the C# programming language in C# 5.0. It comes at a time when performance and parallelization are becoming a major concern of software developers. Used correctly, it can help to write programs with performance and parallelization properties that would have needed reams of code without it. However, what it does to your program is complex, and there are plenty of aspects to how it works that arent immediately obvious.
Excepting Visual Basic .NET, which added async at the same time as C#, no other mainstream programming languages offer capabilities equivalent to async. Experience and guidance in using it in real-world programs is rare. This book is the guidance from my experience using async, as well as ideas drawn from the designers of C# and computer science theory. More importantly, it shows what async is, how it works, and why you might want to use it.
This book is intended for people who are already confident C# programmers. Perhaps you are looking to understand async, to choose whether to start using it. Perhaps you have already started using async, but need to learn advanced techniques and caveats to make best use of it.
Having said that, it doesnt assume knowledge of other advanced C# features, so the book is approachable to C# beginners, as well as programmers confident in other languages.
C# is used in many kinds of application, and async is useful for different reasons in each of these. For that reason, this book looks at async from both client and server points of view, including chapters specifically for ASP.NET and WinRT.
This book is primarily designed to be read from beginning to end, as a way to learn about async. It introduces concepts in order, helping you to understand with examples before relying on that understanding. This is especially true of the first five chapters of the book.
The best way to learn is by doing, so I recommend that you try out code examples yourself. For this, youll need a C# development environment, like Microsoft Visual Studio or MonoDevelop. Take opportunities to extend the examples and work on your own programs while reading, to understand the ideas fully.
After reading the book, you may want to go back and use the sixth chapter onwards as a reference for advanced topics in the use of the async. These chapters are organized into self-contained topics.
Chapters 6 and 7 focus on techniques to use in async code
Chapters 8 and 9 focus on complex behaviors of async
Chapters 10 to 13 discuss situations where async is useful
Chapters 14 and 15 look at how async works internally

Id like to thank Stephen Toub for reviewing the book, not just technically, but lending me his experience in getting across parallel computing concepts. His blog was also the first place I saw a lot of the ideas Ive explained here. Thank you to Hamish for proof-reading, and to Katie for bringing me tea while writing.
Thanks also to Rachel Roumeliotis, my editor, and the team at OReilly who have been very helpful while Ive been writing.
I thank my family, especially my Mum, who looked after me during the recovery from surgery in which most of the book was written. Finally, Id like to thank my colleagues at Red Gate, who encouraged the atmosphere of experimentation that led me to learn about async at work.
Lets start with a high-level introduction to the
