Synopsis

- Offers comprehensive coverage of issues related to multithreaded programming not found anywhere else
- Contains production quality code that can be incorporated into programs without modification - - even expert-level programmers will benefit
- Ideal for those writing Java applications based on Java AWT and SWING
Multithreaded applications are the key to taking full advantage of the Java language. In order to write a real multithreaded application in Java, programmers need to supplement knowledge of the basic functionality of the language with both an in depth explanation of how threads work and a significant library of helper classes. This book provides readers with both crucial components. Java expert Allen Holub offers readers an in-depth explanation of how threads work and he discusses the common problems encountered in multithreaded programming. The author also provides readers with a full-blown threading package that can be used to implement real multithreaded programs. Holub's book is for the intermediate to advanced Java programmer who already knows the syntax of the Java language and wants to use threads effectively.
