C++ Concurrency and Multithreading Quick Start Guide in 2024

C++20, Multithreading, Concurrency, C++11/14/17, Parallel algorithms, Coroutines, Synchronization, Mutex, Threads, Locks

Description

Learn the latest C++ concurrency features, including threads, synchronization primitives, futures, semaphores, atomics, parallel algorithms, and coroutines. This course is designed for experienced C++ developers who want to quickly get up to speed on the latest concurrency features in C++20 and beyond.

In this course, you will learn:

• How to use threads to create concurrent programs
• How to synchronize access to shared data using mutexes, condition variables, and semaphores
• How to use futures to implement asynchronous programming
• How to use atomics to write lock-free and wait-free code
• How to use parallel algorithms to speed up your computations
• How to use coroutines to write asynchronous code in a more structured and efficient way

This course is designed to be completed in a weekend, but you will need to follow up on your own by reading the C++ standard and other resources to fully understand the concepts covered in the course.

Why Mastering Modern C++ Concurrency Features Is Crucial for Today’s Programmers

In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, mastering modern C++ concurrency features is essential for programmers who want to stay ahead of the curve and develop high-performance, efficient software.

C++ concurrency features allow you to write code that can take advantage of multiple cores and processors, resulting in significant performance improvements. This is especially important for complex, resource-intensive applications, such as web servers, game engines, and scientific computing software.

By learning modern C++ concurrency features, you will:

• Be able to write more efficient and responsive software
• Unlock the true potential of multicore processors
• Set yourself apart from other programmers
• Become more marketable to employers
• Open up new career opportunities

This course will teach you everything you need to know about C++ concurrency features, from the basics to advanced topics. You will learn how to use threads, synchronization primitives, futures, atomics, parallel algorithms, and coroutines to write high-performance concurrent code.

If you are a serious C++ programmer who wants to stay ahead of the curve, then this course is for you.

Who this course is for:

• Novice C++ developers: If you’ve recently learned the basics of C++ programming and are eager to expand your knowledge and skills, this course is perfect for you.
