Asynchroniczność i wielowątkowość w języku C#

Grzegorz Lang

Przejdź na wyższy poziom C# Programowanie wielowątkowe pozwala wykonywać różne czynności z wykorzystaniem więcej niż jednego wątku. W efekcie zwiększa się wydajność operacji, które były ograniczone parametrami procesora. W dodatku dzięki zastosowaniu programowania wielowątkowego zadania można wykonywać w tle, bez pogorszenia responsywności aplikacji. Asynchroniczność umożliwia także zachowanie responsywności aplikacji użytkowych oraz zwiększenie skalowalności aplikacji serwerowych. Brzmi obiecująco. Niestety, programowanie z wykorzystaniem wątków i asynchroniczności nie należy do najprostszych. Jest to dziedzina z natury skomplikowana i błędogenna, także w języku C#. Ten poradnik zbiera i zwięźle tłumaczy wszystkie zagadnienia związane z asynchronicznością i wielowątkowością w C#. Poszczególne tematy uzupełniono przykładami, pomagającymi lepiej zrozumieć problem, którego rozwiązanie można zastosować później w praktyce. Dla wygody w korzystaniu z książki każdy koncept opisano oddzielnie, jednak by go zrozumieć, trzeba przyswoić wiedzę z poprzednich rozdziałów. Dowiedz się, na czym polega wielowątkowość w C# Opanuj zasady programowania równoległego Naucz się programować asynchronicznie Poznaj podstawowe zasady synchronizacji
