Free public beta until December 4, 2026: every course is open, no card needed. After that, the first chapter of each course stays free and full access is a one-time $39 ($19 for up to 100 founding members chosen for helpful feedback). Your progress is kept. How the beta works

concurrency

Several jobs in progress over the same stretch of time.

Concurrency is having multiple operations in progress at once, whether interleaved on one thread or running in parallel on several.

Examples

  • A web server with 200 requests in progress, most of them waiting on the database at any moment.
