State management has always been a complex and tricky part of web application development. Continuations simplify this and automatically allow you to create a one-to-one conversation between users and a web application. State preservation and flow control no longer need to be handled manually, bringing you back to the simplicity of single user console applications. Remember 'scanf()'?
This presentation will introduce continuations from general principles, followed by practical examples that demonstrate how they
benefit web application development and their frequent usage patterns.
Finally, you'll also see how continuations can be used as part of
standalone application development. This topic always gives rise to
enthusiatic discussion so plenty of time will be allocated for Q&A.
