Learn Java Concurrency

Java is a multi-threaded programming language which means we can develop multi-threaded programs using Java. A multi-threaded program contains two or more parts that can run concurrently and each part can handle a different task at the same time making optimal use of the available resources especially when your computer has multiple CPUs. Multi-threading enables you to write in a way where multiple activities can proceed concurrently in the same program.

Java is a high-level programming language originally developed by Sun Microsystems and released in 1995. Java runs on a variety of platforms, such as Windows, Mac OS, and the various versions of UNIX. This book gives a complete understanding of Java. This reference will take you through simple and practical approaches while learning the Java Concurrency framework provided by Java Programming language.

This book has been prepared for beginners to help them understand the basic to advanced concepts related to the Java Concurrency framework of Java Programming language.

Before you start practicing various types of examples given in this reference, we assume that you are already aware of computer programs and computer programming languages.
