Asynchronous Programming in a Nutshell

In this video, I cover the basics of asynchronous programming in a simple manner, and how it differs from synchronous programming.

you should also make a short about the difference between asynchronous programming and multi-threading 👍

An excellent analogy to demonstrate Asynchronous Programming. Great job as always, Tim.

This example is also given in the Microsoft documentation of C#, however, I think it might feel incomplete for beginners. Let me elaborate: The example is pretty good to get the concept, but when people start implementing asynchronous methods at first, they don't really see the difference and might be left wondering. That's why I believe the concept of shared context of the main worker thread needs to be explained and also the beginners should be guided to think in a broader picture:

Let's say you're bulding an API. Try hitting some endpoints which are synchronous and then change their methods to be asynchronous and you'll see the difference. Asynchronous programming makes your code more usable, it doesn't necessarily start new threads, but it can also introduce race conditions.

I hope my comment is comprehensive, apologies if it is not.

Coool, so compared to threading and multiprocessing, are there particular use cases whereby asynchronous programming is beneficial; or just in general?

[Ayoub_Shnab]

Your explanation is incredibly useful, and i like how you represented the Synchronous and Asynchronous programming.🎉
🎉

That's literally the freecodecamp course about asynchronous prog condensed in a short but that indian guy was very fun. Not complaining.

[krystian]

Okay Tim, when can we expect more in depth video with examples?

[EvilCherry]

You didn't make it clear whether time stops in the oven or the cooking continues while you're on another task.

[Mohamed.U]

This is pretty much interrupts explained.

[philliam]

I don't think pause is a good word for it you'll just end up confusing people.. Next

[Tick]

Hey tim. Python is the most useless language. Prove me wrong

[me]

I just called it parallel processing. But hey, asynchronous programming works, too

[zea]

So how icloud of apple sync or async? I think it's asynchronous, right? 😂

[derickongeri]

Finally I get it 😅. Thanks for simplifying it

[enriqueavalos]

you explained it better than my Udemy instructor

[dennisdevink]

A real life example is the best to make something understandable 👍thnaks

[grahamkelly]

I remember when he used to make videos

[Naan_Oru_Kirukkan_Da]

Asynchronous Programming is kind of like pipelining in Computer Architecture 🎉, great analogy man

[laafawnduh]

But what would you be waiting for when programming if you are the only one working on it?
