Hey everybody! I hope you find this video helpful. I'll be releasing the multiprocessing video next week. I am currently packing up my temporary recording station and will be moving into my new place tomorrow, so I should be able to get it recorded, edited, and released next week for sure. We'll be covering how to use multiprocessing to process the high-resolution images we downloaded in this video. Hope you all get some good use out of these topics!

When I first tried to switch my career to programming, I watched Corey's videos. Now, 3 years later, I already got a job in programming and still watch Corey's videos :)

Corey: I know that sounds confusing.
Me: No, you explained that very well.

Was waiting for this topic to learn from the world's best Python Mentor. Now the wait is over. God bless you.

Had a service at work that created html pages with indexes of hundreds of xml reports. It used to read each report one by one. Used what I learned here to refactor the code to process files concurrently, which cut the script run time to a fraction of what it used to run at. Thanks for the fantastic tutorial!

You are not only the master of this subject matter, but also you are a great communicator who can articulate artfully. I appreciate your time and effort to share your gift with all of us. Thank you so much.

The best video in the internet about multithreading. Clear and step by step detailed explanation about different ways to run multiple threads in your script + Corey explained why the threading is useful, while some websites tend to say multithreading doesn't work in python. We are very lucky that we have Corey explaining these concepts for free in Youtube, because you won't find such good materials even in paid courses on Udemy or other sites.

For those who are starting in Python, Corey is the best in terms of explaining things, I am already a Team Lead but I still go back to his tutorials once in a while hahaha

[vishnusingh]

Crystal-friggin'-clear! The coolest part was the real-world examples at the end which ensured there was a concrete takeaway and that it wasn't all just theoretical. The best threading vid on the internet! You keep getting better Corey. More power to you !

Can we have this man rewrite the official docs of python ? Love from India♥

[excitedbox]

This has to be the best made guide ever. This should exist for every programing language. Usually guides only give you the absolute basics and expect you to figure out the more advanced stuff yourself and that is where most people get stuck. The level of detail in this is perfect without making it overly long.

Mind Blown : 100%
New Concept : Yes
Easy Implementation : Yes
More Control on Programs from now on : Yes
Feel like a New Level Achieved : Definitely Yes

Really liked the distinction at 4:27 that its best to use several threads when code is IO bound:
-reading/writing disk, waiting for network

Almost 2 years since you uploaded this, you reduced my exect time from ~90 mins to ~2 mins at max .
Awesome videos, will continue watching

[EdiFerreiranet]

10:54 Throw away variable!?! Nice!!! I didn't knew that. Awesome!!! Thank you. You're the best ;)

[andrewhofmann]

So I just extended the Thread class into my own class and made something so much more efficient because of this video. Great job!

[anantchopra]

This video is a life-saver! I have a project due in 3 days that needs me to do a lot of fancy stuff in a multithreaded program, and I had no clue what multithreaded programs are! I'm in a much better position after watching this video. Thank you, Corey!

[gurudevilangovan]

You definitely do have a gift. It takes a ton of talent to explain concepts like this with so much lucidity. Whenever someone says they want to learn python, I point them right to your videos. Thanks Corey! I'm indebted to your videos.

[newpain]

Completely agree about the basic example tutorials, I often find them useless. Great video, thanks!

[DarshitParmar]

You are an angel. Most youtubers teach textbook. Thank you so much for this tutorial!
