The introduction of async/await to C# has irrevocably changed how .NET developers created their applications. But what about older applications? How can they get the async goodness?

In this code-heavy session, we'll take a "older" .NET web app which has no asynchronous code and slowly refactor it into a modern async app. Along the way, there'll be discussions what practices we need to be aware of, such as "async all the way down". This session also demonstrates when async/await is NOT needed, as well as when it is.

Async/await is wonderful, but it's not a cure-all. Let's take an old app, put some async in it, and see how it all comes together.
