Parallel, Concurrent, and Distributed Programming in Java

What do you think about Rice University? Is it good? I am thinking to take this course https://www.coursera.org/specializations/pcdp. Has anyone already taken it?

Give me tips to move to bigger corporates

Hi,

I have 3 years experience in .NET platform and 1 year in angular. So, I'm full stack dev. But so far I've worked with smaller companies.

I want to move to bigger corporates. I'm thinking of switching to Java and thinking of doing this coursera specialization: Parallel, distributed and concurrent programming in Java - by Rice university

And this course:building scalable microservices with Springboot and spring cloud - by Google cloud

By doing these courses will I attract recruiters?

Thanks

There is a whole coursera specialization on java concurrency here: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/pcdp which is what I'm following.

You can separate the concepts of a logical database and a physical databases.

Imagine if you had an array of data too large for a single machine but you still want to treat it as a single array.

So the logical Array can contain elements 1 through L but suppose each machine has enough memory for M elements. The first machine can have elements [1, M] the next machine [M+1,2M] next [2M + 1,3M] etc.. etc.. (but from the machines perspective they are all local elements 1 through M)

Leaving ELI5 territory (but you mentioned you are a developer):

So to access the LogicalElement(Y) you need to access machine #(Y/M integer division) and access its LocalElement (Y%M) (modulo)

so suppose each machine could store 100 million elements of a 1000 million data array. And you wanted to access element number 231 of the 1000 elements.

231 / 100 = Machine #2 , 231 modulo 100 = 31

So the 231 millionth element is located on server #2 on its 31th million element.

The main concept I was demonstrating is you can keep thinks separated logically and physically for performance things would be done differently.

Since you mentioned you are a developer take a look at the lecture videos in this course it will help you catch up to these latest techniques

(this is in java if you want to do the whole courses , if you don't have experience with java just watch the theoretical videos only ) BTW it should be free to access the videos if you don't want to do the course for credit.

What are some good online courses for C# parallelism?

A coworker was planning to take the Coursera course "Parallel, Concurrent, and Distributed Programming in Java Specialization: Boost Your Programming Expertise with Parallelism". However, the course is focused on Java, and we're a .NET shop. So I'm looking for a similar course in C# to take instead.

I know there are a lot of tutorials, etc, but I think he is looking for something more formal (like Coursera). Any suggestions?
