Dive into a comprehensive 5-hour 55-minute course on multithreading, focusing primarily on Java but with concepts applicable to other programming languages. Learn the theory behind each concept followed by practical code examples. Begin with an introduction to multithreading and sequential execution, then progress through creating threads, synchronization, executor services, and advanced topics like locks, atomic variables, and fork-join pools. Explore crucial concepts such as daemon threads, thread priority, wait and notify mechanisms, producer-consumer problems, and various thread pool executors. Gain insights into synchronised collections, countdown latches, blocking queues, concurrent maps, and cyclic barriers. Address common multithreading challenges like visibility problems and deadlocks. Access accompanying code examples on GitHub to reinforce your learning throughout the course.
