Become an expert in Multithreading, Concurrency & Parallel programming in Java, with strong emphasis on high performance

If you had your own jet plane, would you drive it to the grocery store, or fly it on a tour around the world?

Today every computer and phone comes with immense computing power and multiple cores that allow for full parallelism. In this course, you will go on a journey to learn all the fundamental tools you need to become a confident and successful multithreaded application developer. Using multithreading and concurrency we will learn to get the most out of our computer to truly make it fly!

Teaching Philosophy

The course is designed to teach you “how to fish”. Instead of memorizing classes, libraries, or Java APIs, we will learn the fundamentals of multithreaded programming, starting from the complete basics, all the way to the very advanced topics in multithreading.

All lectures include the right theory and are accompanied by practical examples from relevant fields such as:

  • User Interface applications
  • Image Processing
  • Web Applications
  • Computational programs
  • And others

It’s a practical course that is meant to save you time. Instead of filling hours of material, I hand-picked the most important topics based on my practical experience.

We will learn

  • Operating Systems fundamentals and motivation for multithreading and concurrency.
  • The basics of multithreading – how to create threads in Java as well as communicate between threads in Java.
  • Performance considerations and design patterns of multithreaded and parallel applications. Optimizing for latency or throughput.
  • Data sharing between threads in Java. All the pitfalls and challenges as well as the solutions and best practices.
  • Advanced lock-free algorithms and data structures for increased responsiveness and performance.
