This series of videos introduces AsyncIO to Python programmers who haven't used it yet. The first episode is a high-level view on the async ecosystem. We cover:
- why you'd want to use asynchronous code at all;
- how latency drives the user experience;
- what the difference between concurrency and parallelism is;
- some of the problems you can encounter with threads, and with threads in Python in particular;
- a short story about select, the OG of async calls; and
- the history of asynchronous programming in Python that led to AsyncIO.
