Multi-threaded JAVA Programming training course

Course Outline

This intensive course has been specifically designed to address the requirements of developers who wish to take advantage of multiprocessor machines or machines with multiple cores.  As chip manufacturers emphasize the development of processors with multiple cores, there is an increasing need to utilise multiple threads.

Within the .NET framework using C# or VB.NET, delegates will be introduced to concepts and techniques required to create multithreaded applications.

The course will contain a substantial amount of Hands-On work. Delegates will be introduced to topics during theory sessions and these will be followed by lab exercises relating to the topic. Delegates will work on practical exercises which will reflect commercial scenarios.

What you will learn

At the end of this course delegates will be able to:

1. Utilise Visual Studio .NET to develop multithreaded applications
2. Understand the need for and use of synchronization primitives
3. Understand the alternative approaches available
4. Understand use of multithreaded concepts in a range of .NET Application types
