"I was fortunate indeed been working with a fantastic team on the design and implementation of the concurrency features added to the Java platform in Java 5.0 and Java 6. Java Concurrency in Practice provides you with concepts and techniques needed to write safe and scalable Java programs for today's - and tomorrow's -. system " - Doron Rajwan Research Scientist, Intel Corp. "This is the book you need if you're writing - or designing, or debugging, or maintaining, or contemplating - multithreaded Java programs This book is a must-read for anyone who uses threads and cares about the performance .." - Kirk Pepperdine CTO, JavaPerformanceTuning.com "This book includes a deep and very delicate topic in a clear and concise manner so, so perfect Java Concurrency reference manual transmission. Java Concurrency in Practice is revolutionary in its approach, smooth and easy in style, and on time - it is destined to become a very important book. " - Bruce Tate Writers Beyond Java "Java Concurrency in practice is a compilation of priceless of threading know-how for Java developers to find. I read this book intellectually exciting, in part because of the introduction is very good for s concurrency Java APIs, but mostly because it captures in and can be accessed thorough expert knowledge on threading not easily found elsewhere. " - Bill Venners Author Inside the Java Virtual Machine Threads are a fundamental part of the Java platform. Java SE 5 and 6 is a major step forward for the development of applications simultaneously, with improved Java Virtual Machine to support high performance, highly scalable concurrent classes and a rich set of new concurrency building blocks. In Java Concurrency in practice, the creators of these new facilities explain not only how they work and how to use it, but also the motivation and design patterns behind them. However, development, testing, and debugging multithreaded programs can still be very difficult, it's all too easy to create concurrent programs that appear to work, but failed when the most important: in production, under heavy load. Rather than simply offering an inventory of concurrency APIs and mechanisms, provides design rules, patterns, and mental models that make it easier to build together a good program correct and performant. This book covers: Basic concepts of concurrency and thread safety Techniques to build and develop thread-safe classes Using the concurrency building blocks in java.util.concurrent Performance optimization dos and don'ts along Testing programs Advanced topics such as atomic variables, Nonblocking algorithms, and the Java Memory Model
