| In this module you will learn techniques to make a software system do more things at once, so it can handle more users, or come up with an answer to a problem faster. You ask Google for all the Indian restaurants in your area, within seconds you get the answer. Millions of people around the world are using google at the same time. So how is it that you get the answer so quickly? Google makes extensive use of concurrent and distributed computing. Concurrent computing is about how one computer can do multiple tasks. While distributed computing is about how a single (large) task can be distributed among multiple computers. This module is going to teach you the basics about concurrent and distributed computing.
