In this recipe, we will learn the difference between a blocking operation and an asynchronous operation. This recipe is important because blocking operations serialize the execution of each operation on a single CPU. This is typically fine if the execution of each operation must be executed in serial order; however, if these operations can be executed in parallel, asynchronous programming can be a useful optimization, ensuring that, while an operation is waiting, others can still execute on the same CPU.

Overview of this book
If you think you've mastered C++ and know everything it takes to write robust applications, you'll be in for a surprise. With this book, you'll gain comprehensive insights into C++, covering exclusive tips and interesting techniques to enhance your app development process.
You'll kick off with the basic principles of library design and development, which will help you understand how to write reusable and maintainable code. You'll then discover the importance of exception safety, and how you can avoid unexpected errors or bugs in your code. The book will take you through the modern elements of C++, such as move semantics, type deductions, and coroutines. As you advance, you'll delve into template programming - the standard tool for most library developers looking to achieve high code reusability. You'll explore the STL and learn how to avoid common pitfalls while implementing templates. Later, you'll learn about the problems of multithreaded programming such as data races, deadlocks, and thread starvation. You'll also learn high-performance programming by using benchmarking tools and libraries. Finally, you'll discover advanced techniques for debugging and testing to ensure code reliability.
By the end of this book, you'll have become an expert at C++ programming and will have gained the skills to solve complex development problems with ease.
