You’ve built an API with ASP.NET Core. Now it’s time to learn how to improve the scalability of that API by making it asynchronous. In this course, Developing an Asynchronous ASP.NET Core Web API, you’ll learn how to do that, using the async/await keywords. First, you’ll learn about the internals of async/await, and when and where it makes sense to use it. Next, you’ll discover how to test the impact of writing async code. Finally, you’ll learn all about async streaming, cancellation, & dealing with exceptions. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll know the ins and outs of writing asynchronous code in ASP.NET Core.
