Want to start learning asynchronous programming techniques, but you’re feeling blocked? Want to learn about the best tooling, while concurrently gaining a barebones theoretical understanding? For you, this talk is a can’t-miss.

I will explain asynchronous execution using a non-programming example. Then I’ll display and discuss a realistic yet super-simple program, implemented first in a synchronous, classically Pythonic way, and then by using assorted asynchronous programming libraries and frameworks. I will then mention common pitfalls. Finally, I will explain when asynchronous programming techniques are best used versus processes or threads.
