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 ...
