Parallel and Concurrent Programming with Java 1


Author: Barron Stone, Olivia Chiu Stone
Released: 5/30/2019
Skill Level: Advanced
Duration: 2h 15m




Parallel programming unlocks a program’s ability to execute multiple instructions simultaneously. It increases the overall processing throughput and is key to writing faster and more efficient applications. This training course introduces the basics of parallel programming in Java, providing the foundational knowledge you need to write more efficient, performant code. Instructors Barron and Olivia Stone 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.
Topics include:
Parallel vs. sequential computing
Shared vs. distributed memory
Threads
Execution scheduling
Thread lifecycle
Mutual exclusion
Synchronized methods
Locks
Checking for liveness

Programming Foundations: Algorithms

Image
Author: Joe Marini Released: 11/8/2018 Skill Level: Beginner Duration: 1h 45m Algorithms are the universal building blocks of programming. They power the software you use every day, whether it's a spreadsheet, a social network, or a driving assistant. Algorithms offer a way to think about programming challenges in plain English, before they are translated into a specific language like C# or JavaScript. In this course, author and developer Joe Marini explains some of the most popular and useful algorithms for searching and sorting information, working with techniques like recursion, and understanding common data structures. He also discusses the performance implications of different algorithms and how to evaluate the performance of a given algorithm. Each algorithm is shown in practice in Python, but the lessons can be applied to any programming language. Topics include: Measuring algorithm performance Working with data structures such as arrays, stacks, and queues

Programming Foundations: Object-Oriented Design

Image
Author: Barron Stone, Olivia Chiu Stone Released: 11/27/2018 Skill Level: Beginner Duration: 2h 40m All good software starts with a great design. Object-oriented design helps developers plan applications before they write a single line of code, and break down ideas into reusable and maintainable components. This course focuses on the foundational concepts, teaching them in a fun, interactive way to help you quickly develop your skills. Tag team Olivia and Barron Stone introduce you to the concepts and terms—objects, classes, abstraction, inheritance, and more—that you need to get started. They then show how to take the requirements for an app, identify use cases, and map out classes using Universal Modeling Language (UML). The final design can then be translated into code using one of the many popular object-oriented programming languages, such as Java, C#, Ruby, or Python. Topics include: Object-oriented basics: objects, classes, and more Encapsulation Inhe
