Python Concurrency Simplified

Practically understand concurrency in Python to write efficient programs

What you'll learn

This course is for Python developers who want to learn concurrency techniques to build high-performance applications with Python.

Requirements

Prior knowledge of Python language is assumed.

Description

Python is a very high level, general purpose language that is utilized heavily in fields such as data science and research, as well as being one of the top choices for general purpose programming for programmers around the world. It features a wide number of powerful, high and low-level libraries and frameworks that complement its delightful syntax and enable Python programmers to create.This course introduces some of the most popular libraries and frameworks and goes in-depth into how you can leverage these libraries for your own high-concurrent, highly-performant Python programs. You will learn the fundamental concepts of concurrency needed to be able to write your own concurrent and parallel software systems in Python. You will also learn the concepts such as debugging and exception handling as well as the libraries and frameworks that allow you to create event-driven and reactive systems.Contents and OverviewThis training program includes 2 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.The first course, Learning Concurrency in Python, introduces some of the most popular libraries and frameworks and goes in-depth into how you can leverage these libraries for your own high-concurrent, highly-performant Python programs. You will learn the fundamental concepts of concurrency needed to be able to write your own concurrent and parallel software systems in Python.In the second course, Concurrent Programming in Python, you will skill-up with techniques related to various aspects of concurrent programming in Python, including common thread programming techniques and approaches to parallel processing.Filled with examples, this course will show you all you need to know to start using concurrency in Python. You will learn about the principal approaches to concurrency that Python has to offer, including libraries and tools needed to exploit the performance of your processor. Learn the basic theory and history of parallelism and choose the best approach when it comes to parallel processing.By the end of this course, you will have learned the techniques to write incredibly efficient concurrent systems that follow best practices.Meet Your Expert(s):We have the best work of the following esteemed author(s) to ensure that your learning journey is smooth:●        Elliot Forbes has worked as a full-time software engineer at a leading financial firm for the last two years.
