A well-defined course on multithreading with all requisite resources and materials
Complete hands-on and visually engaging lectures along with projects and real-world connections
Get to see relevant and highly practical examples, and each topic is explained from scratch
Multithreading is an advanced topic for any developer, and they struggle to understand many allied concepts related to it. The goal here is to make you understand in depth the multithreading concepts, applied and exemplified in Java.
The course starts with the basics of multithreading—threads, processes, concurrency, and parallelism. Then you will go through thread management concepts. After that, you will learn about thread synchronization and look at synchronization tools such as locks, wait sets and notifications, read and write locks and semaphores, barriers and phasers, and deadlocks and cache coherency enforcement. Next, you will explore tools in Java to deal with thread reusability, manage performance, choose the right parameters (tuning), and many others.
Next, you will see how to improve the runtime of a couple of known algorithms through multithreading. After that, you will study a couple of problems and their solution on Java Threading API to understand parallelism and synchronization. Finally, you will look at the connection between multithreading and widely used frameworks, such as Spring Boot, JavaRx, and JavaFX.
By the end of this course, you will understand multithreading in detail, get hands-on experience in Java, and learn to improve the performance of the app with multithreading.

This course is ideal for beginner Java developers who want to enhance their skillset by learning multithreading and parallel programming the right way.
Any developer with basic Java knowledge (including Object-Oriented Programming), who wants to improve the performance of their applications by leveraging parallel programming, and who wants to learn multithreading from scratch can gain a lot from this course.
Basic Java OOP knowledge (classes, interfaces, methods), IntelliJ IDEA, and Java 15 (JDK) are the only requirements to get started.
