Learn Multithreading with Modern C++ (Udemy.com)

Me ha gustado mucho el curso, creo que todos los temas se explican bastante bien. Para las 5 estrellas, me han faltado algunos ejercicios practicos en las últimas secciones y mejorar un poco el audio de los videos.

Im still in the middle of the course, however I still can tell that its a great course as it explains multithreading concepts in a good way. One thing, which I lack here and is mentioned in more reviews and is also a reason why I don't give full 5 stars, is that I would like to have much more practical exercises, so students could store these concepts much deeper in their memories as expecially with learning of new programming concepts, practicing is the key to truly understand it more deeply.

Started with wondering why am i even here . Now halfway through and implementing a dbserver , now feel like these 6 minute videos carry information of 6 hours. Thanks and grateful for amazing people like you . Wish you had more courses.

I thoroughly enjoyed following this course, before taking it i was quite good at C++ but multithreading concepts were a shroud of mystery. This course helped unveil it quite a lot. i will have to try making a couple of projects before pretending to be comfortable in those concepts because ultimately the only way to be good at C++ is just to write a lot of code. but at least i will have good documentation to do that.

Instructor is great! Excellent course for gaining a deep understanding of multithreading in modern C++. All the key topics were thoroughly covered, and James is an outstanding instructor—he demonstrates mastery of the material and explains concepts clearly and effectively. To make the learning experience even stronger, I would suggest adding more assignments or practical challenges. It would be especially valuable to include exercises that can be automatically assessed, for example using unit tests with frameworks like Google Test, as I’ve seen implemented in other courses. Also, maybe it would have been good end the course with a "big bang", a project of some kind ;)

The author is very experienced and has a deep understanding of the topic being presented. The presentation style is highly technical. Some people may find the materials too text-heavy. However, for those who are used to working with consoles, it feels like a home game. :-)

Pros: - For certain categories there is an explicit listing which feature has been introduced with which C++ version, which is exactly how it should be presented. - In the beginning there are frequent quizes and coding exercises after almost every single section - Solutions to coding exercises can be published to receive feedback from other course members and vice versa. You get to comment on their solutions as well. - In rare occasions some really good advices are given: Protect a complex object with an atomic pointer. However the course sadly fails to explain why this works, what the limits are or what exactly the compiler would do instead, because this course completely fails to explain the general concept of memory barriers. Cons: - Terrible audio quality thanks to a low budget microphone and high fan noise of the laptop that this course is recorded with. Neither using noise gates nor removing background noise like the constant fan noises or beeping of the washing machine after the fact straight up shows how much effort went into this course. In combination with the rather annoying rhythm of speech, it gets really painful to listen to below 2x speed, and even then the content is delivered fairly slow and annoying. - Wording in both the lectures as well as the quizes is imprecise fairly often. Example: "A single-threaded program can only run on one core at a time" is wrong, while it would be true for a single-threaded program >instance

Some great material, but lazy presentation. It's actually painful to get through, and it's disappointing to see the instructor gaslighting paying students about this issue instead of humbling himself and addressing this. Multiple people have mentioned that the talking head PiP is a distraction, and that would be an extremely easy fix to improve the course.

Nowadays with multicore processors available in practically any device, enabling true parallel execution, multithreading is fundamental for performant scalable applications. This course covered all the bases of Modern C++17 parallel, multithreading features.

I have always been intimidated by this topic and this course is helping me get over my fear of multithreading one video at a time. The examples are simple and easy enough to make multithreading in C++ approachable. Questions related to lectures are always answered promptly and clearly. You are a great teacher James. Thank you!
