Learn Parallel Programming with C# and .NET

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.
