Description

Do you know how to write robust multi-threaded C# code that does not crash?

Lets face it: writing multi-threaded code is hard. The sobering truth is that, unless you know exactly what you're doing, your code is pretty much guaranteed to crash in production.

Don't let this happen to you!

It doesn't have to be like this. If you have a good understanding of multi-threaded programming and follow a few simple industry best practices, you can write robust code that can take a beating.

I wrote a multi-threaded conversion utility a few years ago, that successfully migrated 100,000 documents from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. The program worked flawlessly the first time, because I implemented all of the best practices for writing asynchronous C# code.

Sound good?

In this course I am going to share these practices with you.

In a series of short lectures I will cover many multi-threading topics. I will show you all of the problems you can expect in asynchronous code, like race conditions, deadlocks, livelocks and synchronisation issues. I'll show you quick and easy strategies to resolve these problems.

By the end of this course you will be able to write robust multi-threaded C# code that can take a beating.

Why should you take this course?

You should take this course if you are a beginner or intermediate C# developer and want to take your skills to the next level. Asynchronous programming might sound complicated, but all of my lectures are very easy to follow, and I explain all topics with clear code and many instructive diagrams. You'll have no trouble following along.

Or maybe you're working on a critical section of code in a multi-threaded C# project, and need to make sure your code is rock-solid in production? The tips and tricks in this course will help you immensely.

Or maybe you're preparing for a C# related job interview? This course will give you an excellent foundation to answer any threading-related questions they might throw at you.

Who this course is for:

Beginner, intermediate, and advanced C# programmers who want to learn how to write bulletproof multi-threaded C# code
Developers who are about to take a job interview and need to prepare for threading-related questions
Professionals who are writing a section of multi-threaded code in a large C# project
