Pre-Requisites:

Basic understanding of C# and object-oriented programming (classes, inheritance, methods, and properties). No prior experience with asynchronous programming is necessary; we'll take care of that as we go.

Lab Requirements:

• You must provide your own laptop computer (Windows or Mac) for this hands-on lab.

• You need to have the .NET 6 SDK or .NET 7 SDK installed as well as the code editor of your choice (Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition or Visual Studio Code are both good (free) choices).

• Interactive labs, web application samples, and console samples will work with Windows, macOS, and Linux (anywhere .NET 6/7 will run).

• WPF desktop samples will only work on Windows machines. There are equivalent web and console examples for these projects.

Links:

• .NET 7.0 SDK https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download

• Visual Studio 2022 (Community) https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ Note: Install the "ASP.NET and web development" workload for the labs and samples. Include ".NET desktop development" for "digit-display" sample and WPF-based samples.

• Visual Studio Code https://code.visualstudio.com/download

Hands-On Labs

This folder contains hands-on labs. The labs are integrated throughout the workshop day.

• Lab 01 - Recommended Practices and Continuations
• Lab 02 - Adding Async to an Existing Application
• Lab 03 - Parallel Practices
• Lab BONUS - Working with AggregateException
• Lab BONUS - Unit Testing Asynchronous Methods

Each lab consists of the following:

• Labxx-Instructions (Markdown)
  A markdown file containing the lab instructions. This includes the scenario, a set of goals, and step-by-step instructions.
  This can be viewed on GitHub or in Visual Studio Code (just click the "Open Preview to the Side" button in the upper right corner).

• Starter (Folder)
  This folder contains the starting code for the lab.

• Completed (Folder)
  This folder contains the completed solution. If at any time, you get stuck during the lab, you can check this folder for a solution.
