Leveraging Async and Await in Modern Python | Michael Kennedy

If you've heard that Python is not good at solving async problems, you'll be surprised by what modern Python has to offer. You’ll learn new Python async and await keywords and how to leverage async to solve parallel problems faster.

This talk was given at Codementor Event’s annual developer conference, and it covers:
- Intro to async programming support in modern Python
- Python async and await keywords
- Other helpful libraries you can use with Python

Michael is an avid Python and MongoDB enthusiast, entrepreneur, host of Talk Python to Me & Python Bytes, and a Python Software Foundation Fellow.
