Lesson 2
Our Goals for this Lesson
In this lesson, we'll rethink how we approach concurrency. We'll look at a new model—Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP)—that emphasizes message passing over shared memory and locks. We'll see how CSP simplifies concurrent programming and how it has influenced modern programming languages and systems.
Outline
