If you are C++ developer, embedded or system level developer with certain commercial experience we invite you to join our training on concurrent programming.
Concurrent programming has been always considered as one of the most difficult areas of software development. The goal of the training is to show how to deal with this complexity in simple well-designed ways. It covers ideas and solutions which were invented to overcome limitations and constrains introduced by concurrency. As a result — concurrent programs should be as simple as sequential ones.
The training includes general OS architecture overview, synchronization means, locking, lock-free algorithms, debugging, and other topics.
