Abstract
In their next version VB and C# are planning to target asynchronous programming. With the new API ’s and language features asynchronous code looks similar to the synchronous counterpart, with no explicit callbacks needed. Furthermore it is easy to take a step further and parallelize your code. We’ll show the user experience, and then dive deep into how the features work.
