Concurrent and Parallel Programming in Python - Introduction to Writing Asynchronous Programs

The video tutorial introduces asynchronous programming in Python, focusing on how to write and execute asynchronous functions using the asyncio library. It explains the concept of event loops and futures, and demonstrates how to run asynchronous code with asyncio.run. The tutorial also covers practical examples and common errors encountered in asynchronous programming.

What is the main difference between asynchronous programs and threading?

Why is it recommended to use Python version 3.7 or later for asynchronous programming?

Explain the purpose of the 'async' keyword in defining a function.

What is an event loop and how does it relate to asynchronous programming?

Describe what a 'Co routine' is in the context of asynchronous programming.

What happens if you try to call an asynchronous function without using 'await'?

What does the 'await' keyword do in an asynchronous function?

How can you run an asynchronous function in Python?

Explain how to return values from an asynchronous function.

What are the limitations of using 'await' outside of an asynchronous function?
