You can download the video version from his website.

In the past 30 years, concurrency has been neglected in mainstream software development. But now, the concurrency era is coming, because our new computer is concurrent, and software development will usher in great changes.

The purchased computer is dual-core. It will be 4 cores next year, then 8 cores, 16 cores, 32 cores ......, It will be a few years later, and everything will not be far away!

Many server programs are ready (not all of them), but the client program is not.

The time complexity of the algorithm has changed.
