Hello, I've been reading up on async/await somewhat but there are still things I don't get. I have experience writing socket servers with the Begin/End pattern, but I find some of this async/await ...

Take advantage of the ability to create and consume data streams asynchronously in C# 8.0 to improve the performance of your applications.

However in the example I gave, the async void HandleClient method, there is an await SslStream.ReadAsync (...) call done immediately, which is an async I/O operation that will not consume a thread ...

There's a lot of confusion about async/await, Task/TPL and asynchronous and parallel programming in general, so Jeremy Clark is on a mission to inform developers on how to use everything properly.
