Asynchronous Programming
Asynchronous programming allows your program to perform tasks without blocking execution. Dart provides excellent support for async operations through Future, async, and await.
Future
A Future represents a value that will be available at some point in the future.
async and await
The async and await keywords make asynchronous code look synchronous:
Error Handling
Multiple Futures
Future.wait
Wait for multiple futures to complete:
Streams
Streams provide a sequence of asynchronous events:
Stream Methods

Best Practices
- Always use
async/awaitfor cleaner code - Handle errors with try-catch
- Use
Future.waitfor parallel operations - Prefer streams for continuous data
- Don't forget
await- common mistake!
