Mastering C# Concurrency

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about the issues with using shared data from multiple threads. We looked through the different techniques allowing us to organize concurrent access to shared state more efficiently in different scenarios. We also established an understanding about the performance issues of using locks, thread blocking, and context switching.

In the next chapter, we will continue to explore concurrent access to shared data. However, this time we will try to avoid locks and make our parallel program more robust and efficient.
