Overcome multithreading and asynchronous programming in C# problems & improve performance by parallel computing in C#
For the last two decades, computers became faster by increasing the number of CPU cores. However, the fact of having more cores itself doesn’t make a computer drastically faster if those cores are not used by software properly. We, as software developers, should know how to write asynchronous and parallel executing code to make our applications faster and more responsive.
This course is all about developing more responsive and fast programs. Multithreading and Parallel Computing are topics for those who already have some experience in programming, otherwise, you may face difficulties with understanding the content. Anyway, this course covers:
Theoretical foundations of asynchronous programming: main concepts, processes, threads and so on
Low-level Thread API, APM, and EAP
Task Parallel Library (TPL) including starting tasks, canceling tasks, chaining tasks, waiting for tasks, IO-based tasks, exceptions handling and other
Async and Await feature of C#
Synchronization including atomicity, Interlocked, Monitor (lock), ReaderWriterLockSlim, Semaphore, SynchronizationContext, and Mutex
Signaling constructs such as AutoResetEvent and ManualResetEventSlim, CountdownEvent and Barrier
Spinning including SpinWait, SpinLock and our own UpdateableSpin
ConcurrentCollections including ImmutableStack, ImmutableQueue, ImmutableList, Immutable Sets, ImmutableDictionary, ConcurrentStack, ConcurrentQueue, ConcurrentBag, BlockingCollection
Parallel Programming including Parallel class and PLINQ
Enroll and start learning the foundations of multithreading and parallel computing in .NET.
Be able to use a full power of TPL (task parallel library) by using Tasks
Understand the low-level of Threads
Understand all the basic concepts such as "Thread", "Process"; difference between "asynchrony", "concurrency", "multithreading", and "parallel computing"

I'm thankful enough for that I love what I do.I began my career as a postgraduate student participating in Microsoft ImagineCup contest. I've been working with .NET platform since 2003. I've been professionally architecting and implementing software for nearly 7 years, primarily based on .NET platform. I'm passionate about building rich and powerful applications using modern technologies. I'm a certified...
Very helpful and practical. Just enough theory to give you an idea on what's happening behind the curtains, but the primary focus is where it should be, on the code you will actually write
It was a nice introduction to Asynchronous programming and Parallel programming, but I strongly recommend pairing this course with Microsoft docs and thought exercises due to the lack of quizzes/exercises.
The content is OK but there is one glaring issue:
No work along examples: how the hell am I supposed to learn anything with some guy just talking about code to me? When has that ever worked before?
There aren't even examples of applications for this so it renders what he is saying pretty useless.
The course is well structured and touches all the necessary topics for the understanding of multi-thread, but the content can be improved, there is too much slide reading, there are no visual examples (especially when dealing with such an abstract topic as multi-thread), all the examples have almost no structure, it looks like code made on the fly and there is not enough talk about "side effects".
I am liking it...
Creo que le hace falta casos de uso practico y que puedas descargar el codigo
In general is an excellent course, but this course could be a little complicated because without advise only copy a code for other source and continue the course
Very good course in general, complete and consistent with the information provided.
The course itself is great, however the fact that the OS of the tutor is in Russian is very confusing --> I want to read and understand the exceptions for example.
