Does the sight of an async or await keyword fill you with terror? Perhaps you're using async in your code for performance, but you’re not sure why? Maybe you find the idea of thread management just too Task-ing? (If you don’t get that joke, watch this talk and you will!).

Asynchronous programming has been a first class citizen in .NET for over a decade, it’s especially important for ASP.NET websites, like Umbraco, and is a concept that all web developers need to get to grips with.

We’re going to look at how async/await works by debugging a running ASP.NET application, and talk a little bit about why it’s so crucial for the performance of your web apps.
