This repo contains the code and slides for a talk that I gave at the Gauteng Python User Group on 28 November 2018.

The slides and demo illustrates various approaches to asynchronous programming in python including:

• Threads
• Multiprocessing
• Asyncio

The demos have purposefully been split into IO and CPU bound sections to illustrate the pros and cons of the above approaches.
