Pattern-Oriented Software Architectures for Concurrent and Networked Software (Coursera)

The advent of multi-core and distributed-core processors, coupled with ubiquitous wireless and wired connectivity, is driving the need for software engineers and programmers who understand how to develop concurrent and networked software. Despite many improvements in processors and networks, however, developing concurrent and networked software remains hard and developing high quality reusable concurrent and networked software is even harder. The principles, methods, and skills required to develop such software are best learned by understanding pattern, pattern languages, and frameworks.
