Concurrent Programming in Pharo
This PDF offers a real-world understanding of concurrent programming in the Pharo programming environment by concentrating on it. First, it introduces concurrent programming and leads to a simple example based on which the fundamental ideas are constructed. Some important concepts include creating processes, lifetimes, ProcessorScheduler, priorities of processes, and scheduler rules so that one can understand the management of the flow of executions. Discussions on important APIs accompany working examples of semaphores, which should help developers in their ability to learn synchronization techniques. It is designed for programmers to acquire all the skills one would need to implement concurrent solutions effectively in Pharo and thus can be a valuable member of any programmer's library.
