This PR addresses the question "what is this repo?" by providing comprehensive documentation about the repository's purpose and structure.

Repository Overview

This repository contains the source code and practical examples for the "Async Techniques and Examples in Python Course" from Talk Python Training. It serves as a comprehensive educational resource for Python developers who want to master asynchronous and parallel programming techniques.

What's Inside

The repository is organized into focused modules covering the complete spectrum of Python's concurrent programming capabilities:

• Asyncio - Modern async/await syntax with practical examples like web scraping and producer-consumer patterns
• Threading - Multi-threaded programming for I/O-bound tasks with thread safety mechanisms
• Multiprocessing - Leveraging multiple CPU cores for CPU-bound work
• Execution Pools - Unified thread and process APIs
• Async Web Development - Building async Flask applications and web APIs
• Cython Integration - High-performance computing combining Cython with threading

Target Audience

This resource is designed for:

• Intermediate Python developers wanting to write more performant, scalable code
• Web developers looking to build faster applications
• Data scientists needing efficient data processing capabilities
• Anyone wanting to take advantage of modern multicore CPUs

The repository structure with src/ containing practical examples, transcripts/ with course materials, and individual requirements files makes it easy to explore specific topics and run examples independently.
