When you invoke a Web service synchronously, the invoking client application waits for the response to return before it can continue with its work. In cases where the response returns immediately, this method of invoking the Web service might be adequate.

By calling a Web service asynchronously, the client can continue its processing, without interrupt, and will be notified when the asynchronous response is returned.

Scripting with Racket

Recently, I had the opportunity to have my computer upgraded. As I had a lot of personal files, I thought it might be a good idea to securely delete them before shipping the computer back. This served two features, one, it was fun, and two, it gave me time to make sure the new computer had all the files copied and that I wasn't missing anything from the old computer. So, I did a little research. A little googling revealed I needed to write random bytes over the file 8 times to meet government standards on preventing the recovery of deleted files.
