Part 1 focuses on the Thread APIs and Part 2 focuses on the concurrency utilities. In Part 1, you learn about Thread API basics and runnables, synchronization and volatility, waiting and notification, and the additional capabilities of thread groups, thread local variables, and the Timer Framework. In Part 2, you learn about concurrency utilities basics and executors, synchronizers, the Locking Framework, and the additional capabilities of concurrent collections, atomic variables, and the Fork\/Join Framework.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eEach chapter ends with select exercises designed to challenge your grasp of the chapter's content. An appendix provides the answers to these exercises. A second appendix explores how threads are used by various standard class library APIs. Specifically, you learn about threads in the contexts of Swing, JavaFX, and Java 8's Streams API.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWhat You Will Learn\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e• How to do thread runnables, synchronization, volatility, waiting and notification, thread groups, thread local variables, and the Timer Framework\u003c\/div\u003e•\tHow to create multithreaded applications that work correctly.\u003cdiv\u003e• What are concurrency utilities basics and executors\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e• What are synchronizers, the Locking Framework, concurrent collections, atomic variables, and the Fork\/Join Framework and how to use them\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e•\tHow to leverage the concurrency utilities to write more complex multithreaded applications and achieve greater performance\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e• How to apply thread usage in Swing, JavaFX, and Java 8 Streams API contexts\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAudience\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe primary audience is Java beginners and the secondary audience is more advanced Java developers who have worked with the Thread APIs and the Concurrency Utilities.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Apress\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-11-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781484216996\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4842-1700-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 200\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47513716129932,"sku":"9781484216996","price":40.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781484216996.jpg?v=1775962490","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781484216996","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
