The best book on Java concurrency out there.
As others have written, this is the best book out there on Java concurrency. I am a decent journeyman coder, not a guru, and this helped me wrap my head around what is involved with concurrency. Concurrency is in many ways orthogonal to the rest of Java programming, so it's good to get a clear and authoritative guide. I still avoid multi-threading whenever possible, but if I have to go there, I reach for this book.
Excellent book for Java 1.5 Concurrency
This is a very nice book to get to know all the tools of Java 5 for concurrency support.
Best Java Concurrency Book -must read.
This is the very best book available on concurrency. It covers all the Java 5.0 paradigms and goes from the explanation of volatile/final/mutable/immutable to advanced topics like re-entrant locks.
The best part about the book is Mr Yuk an icon to denote really bad thread unsafe code examples and comparison to different implementations that are correct -you will see from the first day onwards the mistakes that you have been making in your existing code. Very practical; Good explanation, lots of sample code.
Close your eyes look no further and get this book -you will not regret it.
awesome book on concurrency
An awesome book on concurrency that all Java programmers ought to read before embarking on anything more complicated than the primordial Hello World application.
Title should be: Java Thread Bible
After reading this book you will probably thank God that you haven't been using threads, but with that being said this book contains all the information you need to start writing code that walks the straight and narrow path.
