Asynchronous C# 5.0
By Jon Skeet
In this advanced series, Jon Skeet shows us the new Asynchronous goodness available in C# 5.0. Managing threads, awaiting asynchronous calls - these are all made simple with a few new keywords and types. Along the way, Jon melts Rob's brain routinely.

Description
This is an advanced production! Asynchronous coding in a static language is not exactly "simple," and rather than try to simplify complex topics, we have, instead, decided to go deep and see how things work** at a deeper level. If you are newer to programming, or new to C# in general, you may want to become familiar with the basics of C# before you tackle this one.
