V Concurrency in Java 8 (lamda and parallel Stream)

Create worker threads using Runnable, Callable and use an ExecutorService to concurrently execute tasks

Identify potential threading problems among deadlock, starvation, livelock, and race conditions

Use synchronized keyword and java.util.concurrent.atomic package to control the order of thread execution

Use java.util.concurrent collections and classes including CyclicBarrier and CopyOnWriteArrayList

Use parallel Fork/Join Framework

Use parallel Streams including reduction, decomposition, merging processes, pipelines and performance

VI Concurrency beyond Java 8 (concurrency in other languages and java project Loom)

Understanding the Python Memory Model

Comparing Java's Executor Framework with Python's concurrent.future

Concurrent Collections: Java vs Python

Python asyncio vs Java CompletableFuture: Parallel Composition & Chaining
