Though the contents involved are very fundamental, I felt it&rsquo;s necessary to give them a revisit since they are building blocks of more advanced contents in concurrent world.</p> <h1 id="overview">Overview</h1> <p>Overall, I figured this course followed a bottom-up approach. It first introduces low-level Java concurrent primitives, and then go through some of the higher-level approaches that solve some of the problems when programming with the low-level concepts. From that end, it discussed some of the concurrent data structures, and formally introduced linearizability, which is the correctness requirement of any concurrent data structure.</p>
