Threads, but SMART.
Modern CPUs have multiple cores, but most applications only use one. Learn how to harness the full potential of your hardware with smart multithreading. ⚡ Beyond Basic Threading - Forget the nightmare of race conditions, deadlocks, and hard-to-debug issues. This course teaches you the right way to design multithreaded applications that are both performant and correct. 🧵 Master Concurrency Patterns - Thread pools, worker queues, producer-consumer models, and more - learn battle-tested patterns that solve real-world concurrency challenges and scale with your application's needs. 📈 After this course, you'll be able to design applications that efficiently distribute work across multiple CPU cores, dramatically improving performance for computation-intensive tasks and responsive user interfaces. 🚀
