Lesson 36. Asynchronous workflows
The past few units have focused almost exclusively on libraries and frameworks that work with F#. This first lesson of the unit briefly hops back to the language side of things and introduces an important language feature in F# called asynchronous workflows, which allow you to orchestrate asynchronous and multithreaded code in a manageable way. These provide ways to parallelize code more easily, allowing you to create high-performing and scalable applications. You’ll see
- Why asynchronous programming is important
- What async workflows are
- A comparison of async programming in F# and C#
- Computation expressions in general
