Asynchronous Programming Intro
Asynchronous programming can be a bit tricky with all its jargon but let’s break it down in simple terms. Think of it like performing a lot of tasks around the house. You can either do them one at a time and wait for for each to finish before starting the next (synchronous) or you can start one, then start the other while the first one is going. Imagine you start the laundry. It wouldn’t make sense for you to wait for it to finish before starting to cook dinner. It is much more efficient to get the laundry started in the washing machine, then cook dinner while the laundry is working.
