Complete Guide to Parallel and Concurrent Programming with Java

Parallel programming unlocks a program’s ability to execute multiple instructions simultaneously, increases the overall processing throughput, and is key to writing faster and more efficient applications. In this course, join instructors Barron and Olivia Stone as they introduce the basics of parallel programming in Java, providing the foundational knowledge you need to write more efficient, performant code. Barron and Olivia explain concepts like threading and mutual exclusion in a fun and informative way, relating them to everyday activities you perform in the kitchen. To cement the ideas, they demo them in action using Java. Each lesson is short and practical, driving home the theory with hands-on techniques.

Learning objectives
By the end of this course, learners will be able to analyze the performance impact of parallel programming techniques, evaluating the trade-offs and applying the appropriate parallel programming patterns to optimize the throughput and efficiency of their Java applications.
