Threading
Threading is a programming concept that enables concurrent execution of multiple sequences of instructions (threads) within a single process, allowing tasks to run in parallel and improve application performance, especially on multi-core systems. It is a fundamental technique in concurrent and parallel programming, used to handle multiple operations simultaneously, such as I/O-bound tasks, user interface responsiveness, and computational workloads.
Developers should learn threading to build responsive and efficient applications that can perform multiple tasks concurrently, such as handling network requests while updating a UI or processing large datasets in parallel. It is essential for optimizing performance in multi-core environments, reducing latency in I/O operations, and improving scalability in server-side applications like web servers or data processing systems.
