Explore the general theory of concurrent programming, and examine how to have multiple tasks active at any given point in time. This 14-video course offers an in-depth examination of concurrent programming by using the Python programming language. First, learners will examine the two main forms of concurrent programming, multithreading and multiprocessing, and examine their differences and use cases. Next, you will examine executing multitask sequentially, and with multithreading to save time, and how to use multiprocessing to manage a collection of tasks efficiently. Continue by exploring challenges that programmers encounter when adopting concurrency such as synchronization issues and deadlocks, and how to address these issues. You will examine issues that arise when writing concurrent code, and you will learn how to fix these by using the built-in objects available in Python. Finally, this course examines several of the objects available in the Python language such as queues and pools, which simplify the task of building multithreading and multiprocessing applications.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Discover the key concepts covered in this course
    Recognize what sequential execution is and what its limitations are

    Identify the specific use cases for multithreading
    Summarize multiprocessing and contrast it with multithreading
    Describe the implementation of threads and processes in the python language
    Recognize what a race condition is and when it can occur with concurrent programming
  • Outline how locks can help concurrent tasks synchronize their actions on shared resources
    Summarize how semaphores can restrict the number of concurrent tasks accessing a shared resource
    Identify the use cases for event and condition objects in python and distinguish between the two
    Recognize when a deadlock can occur in an application and the actions you can take to avoid it
    Enumerate the built-in data structures available in python for concurrent programming
    Outline how pools of threads and processes can optimize concurrency in your application
    Recall the different synchronization mechanisms in python and the conditions necessary for deadlocks
