Concurrency is essential for creating fast apps and optimized systems software today. With this cookbook, you will find recipes for writing asynchronous, parallel, and reactive code in C# that enables your app or program to engage in more than one process at a time. Presented in O’Reilly’s popular problem-solution-discussion cookbook format, this guide provides ready-to-use code, along with an explanation of why and how the solution works.
