Dominic Ullmann comes on the show to tell us how async / await works and the benefits of using it rather than making database calls synchronously. He talks about his recent experience converting a 500k+ line of code legacy application to use the async / await pattern. Too big to do by hand, he discusses using AsyncGenerator - an internal tool developed by the nHibernate project to auto-generate async versions of your methods.
