Course Description

Last updated: November 22, 2017 - added new promo video
Today we have beautiful libraries for writing multi-threaded C#, and there is simply no excuse for writing bad asynchronous code. In this course I will teach you how to write rock-solid code using Tasks and Parallel LINQ that works perfectly on your first try.

I wrote a multi-threaded conversion utility a year ago that successfully migrated 100,000 documents from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. The program worked flawlessly the first time because I used PLINQ.
Sound good?
Writing multi-threaded code by hand is hard. I'll prove it to you by showing you some code that exchanges data between two threads. You will be surprised how difficult it is to do this reliably.
But then I'll show you how trivially easy it is to write asynchronous C# code using the Task Parallel Library and Parallel LINQ. These amazing frameworks allow anyone to write robust multi-threaded code that can take a beating.
By the end of the course you will be fluent in both the Tasks Parallel Library and Parallel LINQ.
Why should you take this course?
You should take this course if you are a beginner or intermediate C# developer and want to take your skills to the next level. Working with Tasks and Parallel LINQ might sound complicated, but all of my lectures are very easy to follow, and I explain all topics with clear code and many instructive diagrams. You'll have no trouble following along.
Or maybe you're working on a critical asynchronous section of C# code in a lage project, and need to make sure your code scales reliably over multiple CPU cores? The tips and tricks in this course will help you immensely.
Or maybe you're preparing for a C# related job interview? This course will give you an excellent foundation to answer any asynchronous programming questions they might throw at you.

complex topics made simple

By Luis do O

Very enlightening course.

By Samuel TÃ³th

Very clear explanations!

By Niels Maerten

If you'd like to learn async C#, do yourself a favor: forget tutorials, and skip MSDN. Get this course instead! It doesn't just show you fancy new keywords and classes, Mark also takes his time to pop the hood, and explain the inner workings of each library. You'll end up having a much better understanding of what it is you're working with. Great course!

By Egidijus Guzavicius

Comprehensive and clearly presented material.

By Fred Boundou

Great course with a very clear explanation! I love it. Thanks

By Radek J

Horrible horrible syllables

By Gary Lantaff

I like the material but I wish trainer would not read the text from each slide. Just slows it down.

By Roderic Agustin

Mark's method of teaching is just superb! He explains the subject in such a way that it is very simple to understand.

By Sandra Snoke

clear presentation with examples. The lecture is very easy to follow. He is an excellent instructor.

By Sasikumar Mahalingam

very very basic, no practical examples for advanced concepts.. i feel it is complete waste of my time.

By Douglas Cunha

O professor fala bem devagar, mas colocando a velocidade em 1.25 ou 1.5 jÃ¡ Ã© suficiente. Ele detalha bastante e sempre faz um resumo no final de cada parte, o que pode ser bom se for um assunto totalmente novo pra vocÃª, ou pode ser chato, se vocÃª jÃ¡ sabia o assunto e quer apenas relembrar algumas coisas. No geral, bom curso.
