Async and Await in Xamarin

@fekberg

Considerations• Don’t mark void methods as

asynchronous methods• Tasks swallow Exceptions!• Wait() this is an easy path to

deadlocking• Follow the naming convention

MyMethodAsync• Don’t lie by wrapping

synchronous/blocking code in async methods

• The continuation is on the calling thread!
