C# Concurrency Lab: Cancellation, Coordination and Backpressure

A hands-on course for C# developers who can write async methods and want to reason about production concurrency. Work through cancellation ownership, task failure, bounded parallelism, shared-state coordination, channels and graceful shutdown. Each lesson pairs a failure scenario with a repair, exercises and review questions. Includes a revision workbook and explained practice tests.
