Parallel and Concurrent Programming with Java 2


Author: Barron Stone - Olivia Chiu
Released: 7/30/2019
Skill Level: Advanced
Duration: 2h 14m




With parallel computing, you can leverage multiple compute resources to tackle larger problems in a shorter amount of time. In this course, the second in the Parallel and Concurrent Programming with Java series, take a deeper dive into the key mechanisms for writing concurrent and parallel programs. Instructors Olivia and Barron Stone make these (often abstract) concepts down-to-earth, demonstrating key ideas using common kitchen activities. Learn all about synchronization, thread pools, asynchronous tasks, evaluating parallel performance, designing parallel programs, and more. Upon wrapping up this course, you'll have a solid understanding of how to parallelize a sequential program.
Topics include:
Using a condition variable
Using a semaphore
Preventing a race condition
Use cases for a Barrier vs. a CountDownLatch
Drawing a directed acyclic graph
Using a future
Steps in a divide-and-conquer algorithm
Evaluating parallel performance
Designing parallel programs

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 ...

Learning Java

Image
Author: Kathryn Hodge Released: 3/21/2018 Skill Level: Beginner Duration: 2h 11m Java is one of the top five programming languages, and is used for websites, embedded controllers, and Android app development. This is an introduction to get you started programming with Java 9-and the newly introduced JShell. Instructor Kathryn Hodge covers all the basics: data types, strings, arrays, loops, and functions. She helps you control the flow and logic of your code, and debug your project to make sure it runs perfectly. Then go a bit beyond the basics and learn advanced techniques such as encapsulation, inheritance, functional programming, and lambdas. Kathryn introduces challenges along the way to practice your new skills. This three-hour course is perfect for developers who need to get up to speed with Java fast, as well as for beginning programmers who want their first taste of this popular language. Topics include: Downloading Java 9 and choosing an IDE Understandin...
