Upskill your JavaScript professional development by leveraging concurrency and parallelismAbout This VideoWork with real-world examples of parallel programming techniques, and how to use them efficiently to upskill your JavaScript knowledgeDesigned to help you achieve parallelism in JavaScript runtime inside a browserGet yourself ready for your interview by solving the coding challenges and scenarios you might faceIn DetailWith processors becoming more advanced, companies are increasingly looking for developers who can write efficient and accurate code. Parallelism and concurrency are concepts that can support these requirements and are therefore significant importance for developers to understand and utilize. This course will help JavaScript developers prepare for job interviews and help them develop these skills and develop proficiencies at writing parallel commands.You will learn the concepts of parallel programming in JavaScript and gain an understanding of processor cores and overall browser structures. You'll understand the asynchronous nature of JavaScript and utilize the GPU to run parallel programs. We'll cover important interview questions along with several techniques to achieve parallelism by implementing them in some real-life scenarios.By the end of this course, you'll gain the knowledge of how parallelism concepts can enhance your coding expertise and professional career development. Moreover, you'll be capable of applying your learning to other programming languages.Downloading the example code for this course: You can download the example code files for this course on GitHub at the following link: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Cracking-the-Coding-Interview-Concurrency-and-Parallelism.
