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.

Acknowledgments
The instructor, Prof. Vivek Sarkar, would like to thank Dr. Max Grossman for his contributions to the mini-projects and other course material, Dr. Zoran Budimlic for his contributions to the quizzes, Dr. Max Grossman and Dr. Shams Imam for their contributions to the pedagogic PCDP library used in some of the mini-projects, and all members of the Rice Online team who contributed to the development of the course content (including Martin Calvi, Annette Howe, Seth Tyger, and Chong Zhou).
Applied Learning Project
Each course includes mini-projects that will enable learners to gain hands-on experience with popular Java API’s for parallel, concurrent, and distributed programming. The mini-projects have been extracted from real-world problems in multiple domains.
