Course Overview
The course- Concurrent Programming in Java is the part of the Concurrent, Parallel, and Distributed Programming in Java Specialization. The course is offered by Rice University which is ranked among top 100 universities across the world and top 20 universities in the United States of America. The course is for students and professionals who intend an in-depth study of programming in Java.
The programme teaches all the fundamental concepts of concurrent programming in Java 8. The knowledge of concurrent programming assists developers to mediate the parallel programs using shared resources more efficiently. Towards the end of the course, the participants will use basic concurrency constructs like locks, threads, atomic variables, actors, isolation critical sections, concurrent collections, critical sections. Also, the theoretical foundation concepts like deadlock, progress guarantees, linearizability, and starvation will be taught in the course. The knowledge of theoretical foundations of concurrency will empower the participant to be meticulous and avoid subtle and common errors in programming.
