Downloading The Demonstrations

All demonstration materials can be downloaded with the following command;

$ git clone https://github.com/mr-ansar/layer-cake-demos.git

There are three demo sub-folders within the git repo, one for each of the concurrency techniques presented, plus a folder for a testing client. Each of the concurrency folders contains a small set of files with names starting with test_server, test_function and test_worker. The server file is the main module and the other files support the main module. All of these files have a numeric suffix (e.g. test_server_1.py) marking their position in the series of implementations.

After cloning, a virtual environment is needed;

$ cd layer-cake-demos
$ python3 -m venv .env
$ source .env/bin/activate
$ pip3 install layer-cake

To begin the multithreading demos and verify the environment, enter the following commands (logs appearing in this document have been reduced to fit);

$ cd multithreading
$ python3 test_server_1.py --debug-level=DEBUG
[01166720] 06:47:54.667 + <0000000e>ListenConnect - Created by <00000001>

A control-c terminates the server. Omitting the --debug-level results in silent running.
