I understood the concepts of synchronous and asynchronous perfectly through the kind explanations along with visual materials. Thank you!

I'll make sure to understand the concepts clearly before I go.

What you will gain after the course

  • Understanding the concepts of sync and async

  • Understanding the concept of serial concurrent processing

  • Why do we need concurrent programming?

Understanding the concepts of sync and async intuitively "with pictures"

Understand the concepts below in one glance with intuitive illustrations and explanations :)

1) The concept of sync/async
2) The concept of serial/concurrent
3) Why do we need the concept of concurrency programming?

I initially studied synchronous and asynchronous concepts using various examples to understand them, but I ended up becoming even more confused. Some parts were a bit tricky for non-majors to grasp at first... So, I created a diagram to help them understand intuitively and directly .

I think you'll understand how threads work more accurately and quickly if you look at a diagram. I'll try to explain it to you in a snap. ^^

(I couldn't edit the video for a while, so I uploaded it all in one take... Now that I look at it again... the breathing and speech stammering were really bad... I edited the video and re-uploaded it... As of October 6, 2020)


And, if you want to know more about the concept of Blocking/Non-Blocking, which is divided into more detailed concepts of synchronous/asynchronous, you can check it out in the news . ^^
(Since this concept may or may not exist depending on the language, you may want to check whether the language in question handles the concept of Blocking/Non-Blocking.)

I'm Allen, an iOS Developer.

"Knowledge that is accurately understood must be easily explainable in one's own words." is my motto.

Therefore, I want to be a developer who can share knowledge in a language anyone can understand by simplifying the trial and error I experienced while studying.


I am not interested in creating courses that only teach easy topics superficially in a short amount of time.
While such courses can be churned out quickly, I believe that ultimately, "growing into a good developer" requires a solid foundation of theoretical knowledge.

Rather than just an easy course, my goal is to teach even the difficult concepts that one
must know to become a good developer (a developer who can grow continuously) as easily and intuitively as possible.
Thus, my objective is to build a foundation that allows you, not me, to contemplate and think about the "WHY" yourself.

Just as I strive to become a better developer tomorrow,
I want to convey the things I have pondered in great depth.

 

I believe that repeatedly failing interviews or being unable to express even simple concepts in your own words means you do not have a precise understanding of them. On the contrary, I believe that one can grow rapidly only when they have a "solid foundation" in basic concepts and CS.
