With multi-core computers becoming commonplace, and technologies like Silverlight requiring the use of asynchronous programming, and the use of distributed service-based computing spreading, we are entering an era where parallel and concurrent programming is virtually required. Are you ready to be multi-threaded? Parallel? Concurrent? Are you ready to build applications that are not only parallel, but distributed?
