.NET async / await - Great article on best practices (must read)

This is probably the best article I've read on the best practices on using async and await in .NET. It does a great job of explaining return types, exceptions, SynchronizationContext (how I originally stumbled on the article), and the differences between console apps, web apps, and GUI apps.

Definitely worth a read...twice.

I've also attached a PDF of the content in case you want to save that off.
