Learner Reviews & Feedback for Concurrent Programming in Java by Rice University
About the Course
8. Concurrent programming enables developers to efficiently and correctly mediate the use of shared resources in parallel programs. By the
end of this course, you will learn how to use basic concurrency constructs in Java such as threads, locks, critical sections, atomic variables,
isolation, actors, optimistic concurrency and concurrent collections, as well as their theoretical foundations (e.g., progress guarantees,
deadlock, livelock, starvation, linearizability). Why take this course? • It is important for you to be aware of the theoretical fo...

Great course. With minimal effort you can learn about important concepts and see immediate results regarding the actual speedup you can achieve using concurrent programming.
