Java Multithreading, Concurrency & Performance Optimization

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.

Target Student for this Course

• Students who already have some experience and basic knowledge in programming in Java.

• Students who want to acquire multithreaded, parallel programming and concurrency skills, in a short period of time.

• Students who are interested in performance optimizations and getting good foundation in the above mentioned topics. 

• Students who want to take their career to the next level. Whether you are a

  • Newly graduate and you're looking to land a dream job.

  • A professional engineer who wants to become a better programmer and improve your skillset.

  • A freelancer who wants to develop his/her own project and is looking to learn how to write efficient multithreaded code. 

Short Bio

My passion towards multithreading and concurrency started in college where I worked on a highly scalable, distributed, B+ Tree research project, sponsored by IBM.

Later I worked as a Computer Architecture Engineer at Intel Corporation and as a Software Engineer in other companies where I developed many applications and features involving efficient and optimized multithreaded code to deliver real time video, audio and data - in education, healthcare, augmented reality and Ad Tech.

Today I am a Principal Software Engineer and Software Architect. Training and mentoring engineers on all levels is both my job and my passion.

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.

By the End of the Course

You will be able to

• Write correct, responsive, and performant multithreaded applications in Java, for any purpose and scale.

• Apply best practices to architect multithreaded applications, algorithms and libraries.

• Become knowledgable in concurrency & parallel programming, which will help you in job interviews, in your daily work as an engineer, as well as in your personal projects.
