Asynchronous Network Programming

Asynchronous network programming allows devices or software to handle multiple tasks at once without waiting for each to finish before starting the next. Instead of pausing to wait for a network response (like loading data from the internet), the program continues working on other tasks. When a response arrives, it is processed separately. This approach improves efficiency and responsiveness, especially in applications that need to manage many network operations simultaneously, such as web servers or chat apps. It’s like multitasking in real life—juggling different activities smoothly, rather than doing one thing at a time sequentially.
