Java Multithreading and Parallel Programming Masterclass

  This course is the best online resource you need to become proficient in working with threads and correctly apply Multithreading techniques to your applications, in order to leverage the CPU capabilities of your machines and max out the application throughput. The goal of this course is to make you deeply understand the multithreading concepts (that can be re-used in many other languages), applied and exemplified in Java, the language used by many large companies and more than 9 million developers around the world. About myself I wrote my first line of code 10 years ago when I was in highschool. I quickly got addicted by how easy you could build useful programs using C# and Windows Forms. I followed the Computer Science University track where I managed to set the ground knowledge for anything related to Software Engineering (Algorithms, Data Structures, Operating Systems, Multithreading, Distributed Computing, Networking, and many other topics), and ...

  With all the will in the world, delivering great change and successful projects can be a very tricky task if you do not have the buy in and support of your team and the wider organisation.

How to generate ideas: Toolkit A kit of tools to ensure all the best ideas within your organisation are identified, sorted and deployed successfully!

  Within organisations there are always an abundance of fantastic ideas coming from staff, leaders, customers etc. However, more often than not, these ideas are never fully explored and therefore, are never fully deployed. I see this as a HUGE missed opportunity.

Project Management: How to build a Project Charter

  In order to launch, run and deliver a successful project, one key ingredient is needed right at the beginning - A Project Charter. But not just any old Project Charter, a fantastic Project Charter! Building a Project Charter is not an easy task. There are a range of complexities that need to be taken into consideration when it comes to building one, a process to follow and a number of steps you need to complete. Many projects I have worked in over the years have a "Project Charter", but the project still fails because the charter is missing key parts, is too complicated or just is not focused enough. Many people build a charter to say they have one, and leave it to fester and not deliver its true potential. In my experience, those projects that are launched with a solid Project Charter, covering all the necessary steps are the ones that truly deliver. In this course, we will look at: - What is a Project Charter? - The purpose and importance of a Project Charter. - How t...
