A Really Gentle Introduction to Asyncio
I/O is slow (so very very slow) and waiting for it takes forever
(metaphorically speaking). In this session you'll learn how to use
all that waiting time productively with Python's asyncio module.
First you'll find out how to make two things happen at the same time
without those pesky, error-prone, threads and you'll find out what's
going on under the hood with the event loop.
Next you'll get a handle on the future with Futures (no, not the financial
kind!). Then learn how to move all your data around with transports and
how to communicate with protocols.
Finally, put it all together and learn how to fire up a networked application
and system test it from all sides!
