Unlock the secrets of high-performance concurrency in C and C++ with Concurrency That Performs. This practical, hands-on guide takes you from async patterns to production-ready code, covering threads, futures, coroutines, and the design choices that keep concurrency safe. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, you'll master lock-free programming, parallel algorithms, and memory models to write blazing-fast, bug-free applications. Esther Tanaka demystifies complex topics with clear examples and real-world scenarios, ensuring you can optimize performance without sacrificing correctness. Dive into modern C++ async, C11 threads, and coroutine frameworks, and learn to avoid pitfalls like data races and deadlocks. This book is your roadmap to building scalable systems that truly perform. Compare with works by [placeholder] and [placeholder] for a deeper dive into concurrent design. This hands-on C/C++/C#/.NET guide is written to be used at the keyboard: every concept is paired with something you can run, adapt, and keep. You move from first principles to real, working results, with the common errors and fixes called out along the way so you are never stuck for long.
