Master asynchronous programming in C# with async/await, concurrent patterns like producer/consumer and pipelines, and resilience strategies using Polly. Build production-ready async systems through hands-on console applications.
Understand the basics of threading, the thread pool, and why asynchronous programming matters for building scalable applications.
Learn the fundamentals of the Task Parallel Library and async/await keywords for writing asynchronous code.
Learn to compose multiple async operations using WhenAll, WhenAny, continuations, and ConfigureAwait.
Master cancellation patterns using CancellationToken and CancellationTokenSource for graceful shutdown and timeout handling.
Learn to protect shared resources with locks and semaphores, and use concurrent collections for thread-safe data access.
Implement the producer/consumer pattern using BlockingCollection and System.Threading.Channels for decoupled async workflows.
Build multi-stage data processing pipelines using Channels for efficient, scalable data transformation.
Distribute work across multiple parallel workers and aggregate results efficiently.
Build resilient applications using Polly for retry policies, exponential backoff, and circuit breaker patterns.
Learn batch processing strategies and combine all patterns in a comprehensive capstone project
