  <p>I have been using this tutorial to learn how to send and retrieve data from a web <code>API</code>. However is there another way without using <code>Tasks</code> and <code>await</code>? Sometimes my requests are taking a long time to return when others are relatively quick.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any other tutorials that may help? What is the best way to call my web <code>api</code> client to login? I feel I shouldn't be using <code>await</code> and <code>async</code> for this sort of thing but could really use some help.</p>
