Concurrent Programming in Python with Futures (Python Core in Action 19)
Overview of Python's Futures in concurrent programming, comparing single-thread and multi-thread performance, with examples of multi-threaded web downloads.
Welcome to the "Python Core in Action" Series
Concurrent programming is an important and commonly used skill in any programming language.
For example, in our last class, we talked about web crawlers, which are widely used in many industries.
Much of the news we get daily from various websites and apps is obtained through web crawlers powered by concurrent programming.
Using concurrent programming correctly can greatly improve program performance.
In this class, we will explore Python's concurrent programming, focusing on the `Futures` module.
