Concurrent calls

It is possible to await multiple calls concurrently by first invoking the awaitable tasks and then
awaiting them.

public async Task RunConcurrentTasks()
{
var firstTask = DoSomethingAsync();
var secondTask = DoSomethingElseAsync();

await firstTask;
await secondTask;
}

Alternatively, Task.WhenAll can be used to group multiple tasks into a single Task, which completes
when all of its passed tasks are complete.

public async Task RunConcurrentTasks()
{
var firstTask = DoSomethingAsync();
var secondTask = DoSomethingElseAsync();

await Task.WhenAll(firstTask, secondTask);
}

You can also do this inside a loop, for example:

List<Task> tasks = new List<Task>();
while (something) {
// do stuff
Task someAsyncTask = someAsyncMethod();
tasks.Add(someAsyncTask);
}

await Task.WhenAll(tasks);

To get results from a task after awaiting multiple tasks with Task.WhenAll, simply await the task
again. Since the task is already completed it will just return the result back

var task1 = SomeOpAsync();
var task2 = SomeOtherOpAsync();

await Task.WhenAll(task1, task2);

var result = await task2;

Also, the Task.WhenAny can be used to execute multiple tasks in parallel, like the Task.WhenAll
above, with the difference that this method will complete when any of the supplied tasks will be
completed.

public async Task RunConcurrentTasksWhenAny()
{
var firstTask = TaskOperation("#firstTask executed");
