Summary of Concurrency and Parallel Programming by Eiffel Software: Mastering the World of Multiple Cores, Multiple Threads, Multiple Processes
This article announces a one-day seminar series by Eiffel Software led by Dr. Bertrand Meyer on Concurrent and Parallel Programming. It highlights the critical need for developers to master these skills due to the end of Moore's Law, multi-core architectures, networking demands, and big data trends. The seminars aim to teach the state of the art in concurrency across enterprise applications, embedded systems, cloud computing, and web services.
Parts used in the Concurrent and Parallel Programming Seminar:
- One-day seminar sessions
- Concurrent and Parallel Programming curriculum
- Multi-core architecture training
- Networking and big data integration techniques
- Enterprise application development strategies
- Embedded systems programming methods
- Cloud computing approaches
- Web services implementation guides

Eiffel Software announces an international series of one-day seminars led by award-winning technology guru Dr. Bertrand Meyer. Concurrent and Parallel Programming is the next big shift in software development since the adoption of Object Technology nearly a quarter of a century ago. Mastering Concurrent and Parallel Programming is a critical skill for any software developer who wants to build the new killer apps.
According to Dr. Meyer the “end of Moores law as we knew it” means that advances in performance require the use of multi-core architectures; the increasing importance of networking and the ever larger datasets available today add to the urgency of adopting concurrency. No area of IT, from enterprise applications to embedded systems, cloud computing, big data and Web services, can ignore it. It is time for the development community to make the shift.
The press agrees. With Go Parallel, Dr. Dobbs, one of the leading publications for developers, dedicates a full permanent section of its website to the topic. Neil McAllister, technology writer for InfoWorld, recently cited parallel computing as one of his 5 hot specialties for ambitious software developers in 2012. Herb Sutter, an influential authority on software development and C++, wrote: The free lunch is over. The biggest sea change in software development since the O-O revolution is knocking at the door, and its name is Concurrency.
