Overview
Parallel, concurrent, and distributed programming underlies software in multiple domains, ranging from biomedical research to financial services.
Through a collection of three courses (which may be taken in any order or separately), you will learn foundational topics in Parallelism, Concurrency, and Distribution.
These courses of the Parallel, Concurrent, and Distributed Programming in Java specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with Rice University will prepare you for multithreaded and distributed programming for a wide range of computer platforms, from mobile devices to cloud computing servers.
