Synopsis
More than ever, learning to program concurrency is critical to creating faster, responsive applications. Speedy and affordable multicore hardware is driving the demand for high-performing applications, and you can leverage the Java platform to bring these applications to life.
Concurrency on the Java platform has evolved, from the synchronization model of JDK to software transactional memory (STM) and actor-based concurrency. This book is the first to show you all these concurrency styles so you can compare and choose what works best for your applications. You'll learn the benefits of each of these models, when and how to use them, and what their limitations are.
Through hands-on exercises, you'll learn how to avoid shared mutable state and how to write good, elegant, explicit synchronization-free programs so you can create easy and safe concurrent applications. The techniques you learn in this book will take you from dreading concurrency to mastering and enjoying it. Best of all, you can work with Java or a JVM language of your choice - Clojure, JRuby, Groovy, or Scala - to reap the growing power of multicore hardware.
If you are a Java programmer, you'd need JDK 1.5 or later and the Akka 1.0 library. In addition, if you program in Scala, Clojure, Groovy or JRuby you'd need the latest version of your preferred language. Groovy programmers will also need GPars.

Review
""There has been an explosion of interest and application for both new concurrency models and new languages on the JVM. Venkat's book ties it all together and shows the working developer how to structure their application and get the most out of existing libraries, even if they were built in a different language. This book is the natural successor to Java Concurrency in Practice.""--Alex Miller, Architect/Senior Engineer, Revelytix, Inc.
""If the JVM is your platform of choice, then this book is an absolute must-read. Buy it, read it, and then buy a copy for all your team members. You will well be on your way to finding a good solution to concurrency issues.""--Raju Gandhi, Senior consultant, Integrallis Software, LLC
""An excellent book! Venkat skillfully leads us through the many design and implementation decisions that today's JVM developer faces in multithreaded programming. His easy-to-read style and the many examples he provides--using a variety of current open source tools and JVM languages--make this complex topic very approachable.""--Albert Scherer, Manager, eCommerce Technologies, Follett Higher Education Group, Inc.
