Now this same team provides the best explanation yet of these new features, and of concurrency in general. Concurrency is no longer a subject for advanced users only. Every Java developer should read this book.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Martin Buchholz\u003cbr\u003eJDK Concurrency Czar, Sun Microsystems\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"For the past 30 years, computer performance has been driven by Moore's Law; from now on, it will be driven by Amdahl's Law. Writing code that effectively exploits multiple processors can be very challenging. \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eJava Concurrency in Practice\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e provides you with the concepts and techniques needed to write safe and scalable Java programs for today's--and tomorrow's--systems.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Doron Rajwan\u003cbr\u003eResearch Scientist, Intel Corp\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"This is the book you need if you're writing--or designing, or debugging, or maintaining, or contemplating--multithreaded Java programs. If you've ever had to synchronize a method and you weren't sure why, you owe it to yourself and your users to read this book, cover to cover.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Ted Neward\u003cbr\u003eAuthor of \u003ci\u003eEffective Enterprise Java\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Brian addresses the fundamental issues and complexities of concurrency with uncommon clarity.

Each page is filled with the problems (and solutions!) that programmers struggle with every day. Effectively exploiting concurrency is becoming more and more important now that Moore's Law is delivering more cores but not faster cores, and this book will show you how to do it.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Dr. Cliff Click\u003cbr\u003eSenior Software Engineer, Azul Systems\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"I have a strong interest in concurrency, and have probably written more thread deadlocks and made more synchronization mistakes than most programmers. Brian's book is the most readable on the topic of threading and concurrency in Java, and deals with this difficult subject with a wonderful hands-on approach. This is a book I am recommending to all my readers of \u003ci\u003eThe Java Specialists' Newsletter\u003c\/i\u003e, because it is interesting, useful, and relevant to the problems facing Java developers today.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Dr. Heinz Kabutz\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Java Specialists' Newsletter\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"I've focused a career on simplifying simple problems, but this book ambitiously and effectively works to simplify a complex but critical subject: concurrency. \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eJava Concurrency in Practice\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is revolutionary in its approach, smooth and easy in style, and timely in its delivery--it's destined to be a very important book.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Bruce Tate\u003cbr\u003eAuthor of \u003ci\u003eBeyond Java\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJava Concurrency in Practice\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is an invaluable compilation of threading know-how for Java developers. I found reading this book intellectually exciting, in part because it is an excellent introduction to Java's concurrency API, but mostly because it captures in a thorough and accessible way expert knowledge on threading not easily found elsewhere.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Bill Venners\u003cbr\u003eAuthor of \u003ci\u003eInside the Java Virtual Machine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThreads are a fundamental part of the Java platform. As multicore processors become the norm, using concurrency effectively becomes essential for building high-performance applications. Java SE 5 and 6 are a huge step forward for the development of concurrent applications, with improvements to the Java Virtual Machine to support high-performance, highly scalable concurrent classes and a rich set of new concurrency building blocks. In \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eJava Concurrency in Practice\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, the creators of these new facilities explain not only how they work and how to use them, but also the motivation and design patterns behind them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHowever, developing, testing, and debugging multithreaded programs can still be very difficult; it is all too easy to create concurrent programs that appear to work, but fail when it matters most: in production, under heavy load. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJava Concurrency in Practice\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e arms readers with both the theoretical underpinnings and concrete techniques for building reliable, scalable, maintainable concurrent applications. Rather than simply offering an inventory of concurrency APIs and mechanisms, it provides design rules, patterns, and mental models that make it easier to build concurrent programs that are both correct and performant.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book covers: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Basic concepts of concurrency and thread safety \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTechniques for building and composing thread-safe classes \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUsing the concurrency building blocks in java.util.concurrent \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePerformance optimization dos and don'ts \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTesting concurrent programs \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdvanced topics such as atomic variables, nonblocking algorithms, and the Java Memory Model\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Addison-Wesley Professional","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45030191104151,"sku":"9780321349606","price":3629.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780321349606.webp?v=1769198544","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/java-concurrency-in-practice-9780321349606","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
