Introduction to Concurrency, Parallelism, and Threads
Explore the core concepts of concurrency and parallelism in Python and how threads function as independent units of execution. Understand how multitasking is managed by executing tasks either intermittently or simultaneously. Gain foundational insights for handling multithreaded programs and thread-based file operations.
