О курсе

Updated in May 2025. This course now features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. This masterclass is designed to transform your understanding of Java by delving into the intricacies of multithreading and parallel programming. Beginning with the basics, you'll learn what processes and threads are, and understand the differences between parallel, concurrent, asynchronous, and non-blocking operations. The course then progresses to advanced concepts such as thread management, including creation, prioritization, and exception handling, with practical projects like parallel text file processing. You'll explore the critical area of thread synchronization, mastering the use of synchronized keywords, locks, semaphores, and condition variables through detailed examples and projects. The course further delves into reusability with thread pools, explaining their implementation, performance monitoring, and effective sizing. Parallel algorithms and famous multithreading problems are tackled, providing you with the knowledge to apply these concepts to real-world scenarios. Real-world application modules cover integrating multithreading with modern Java frameworks like Spring Boot and RxJava and using JavaFX for UI responsiveness. By the end of this masterclass, you'll have a thorough grasp of multithreading, enabling you to write efficient, high-performance Java applications that leverage the power of concurrent programming. This course is ideal for intermediate to advanced Java developers who have a foundational understanding of Java programming. Prior experience with basic multithreading concepts is beneficial but not mandatory. Enthusiasts looking to enhance their performance optimization skills and tackle complex concurrency issues will find this course invaluable.
