Locks Are Tricky — Let's Understand Them by Building One

Explore the intricacies of concurrency primitives and lock mechanisms in this conference talk from NDC Melbourne 2022. Delve into the reasons behind the preference for message passing over shared memory protected by critical sections. Examine the potential risks and pitfalls of using the lock keyword in C#. Gain a deeper understanding of how concurrency primitives function and the challenges they present. Investigate the inner workings of async programming. Learn to construct custom primitives for both non-async and async environments in C#. Enhance your knowledge of concurrent programming techniques and best practices through practical examples and in-depth explanations.
