5 Stars 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.
5 Stars Good Book
This was a solid book to gaining an understanding of Java concurrency, especially the new concurrency features introduced in Java 1.5
5 Stars 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.
5 Stars 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.
5 Stars Authoritative on the subject
This is “the” authoritative book on java concurrency. However, apart from some java specific items, the book is an excellent source on parallelism in general. Do not even try to implement parallelism without “reading and understanding” this book. Highly recommended !!!
