Summary: <p>This week we tackle the TPL, that is right, the Task Parallel Library. We dive into one of our favorite features of C# and .NET, async/await programming. We take a walk down memory lane to talk about thread pools, completion handlers, locks, and just about everything else we had to do for parallel programming. Sit back, relax, and enjoy some TPL!</p> <h3>Follow Us</h3> <ul> <li>Frank: <a href="http://twitter.com/praeclarum" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://praeclarum.org" target="_blank">Blog</a>, <a href="http://github.com/praeclarum" target="_blank">GitHub</a> </li> <li>James: <a href="http://twitter.com/jamesmontemagno" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://motzcod.es" target="_blank">Blog</a>, <a href="http://github.com/jamesmontemagno" target="_blank">GitHub</a> </li> <li>Music : Amethyst Seer - Citrine by <a href="https://soundcloud.com/adventureface" target="_blank">Adventureface</a> </li> <li>Proudly recorded on <a href="https://zencastr.com/" target="_blank">Zencastr</a> </li> </ul><p>Sponsored By:</p><ul><li> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://bit.ly/mcvslive">Visual Studio Live!</a>: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://bit.ly/mcvslive">The development world's trusted educational provider of developer-focused content since 1993, focusing on .NET and Visual Studio.
