C++ Threaded Programming Course | DevelopIntelligence

Course Summary

The C++ Threaded Programming training course is designed to provide experienced C++ programmers with practical instruction and information so that they can begin writing multi-threaded applications.

The course begins by explaining the history and need for multi-threading. Students will learn about thread classes and how to create threads. Hands-on exercises and demos will provide instruction on how to work with threads, including joining and detaching threads as well as pausing thread execution. The course also explores using concurrent libraries and collections, using Execution Framework, Synchronizers, and Atomics. The course concludes with a focus on best practices.
