Learn Parallel Programming with C# and .NET
Discover the core multithreading and parallelization concepts supported by the .NET framework.
This course is about .NET Parallel Programming with C# and covers the core multithreading facilities in the .NET Framework, namely the Task Parallel Library (TPL) and Parallel LINQ (PLINQ).
This course will teach you about:
-
Task Programming: how to create and run tasks, cancel them, wait on them and handle exceptions that occur in tasks.
-
Data Sharing and Synchronization, ensuring your access to shared data also happens in a safe and consistent manner.
-
Concurrent Collections, such as ConcurrentBag, which operate correctly even when accessed from multiple threads.
-
Task Coordination concepts, including the idea of continuations, as well as uses of synchronization primitives to coordinate tasks.
-
Parallel Loops which let you easily iterate over a counter or collection while partitioning the data and processing it on separate threads.
-
Parallel LINQ, the parallel version of .NET’s awesome Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) technology.
-
Async/Await and .NET’s support for asynchronous programming.
This course is suitable for:
-
Beginner and experienced .NET/C# developers
-
Anyone interested in multi-threading, parallelism and asynchronous programming
The course consists of the following materials:
-
Video lectures showing hands-on programming
-
C# files that you can download and run
Before taking the course, you should be comfortable with the C# programming language and familiar with multi-threading.
