Mastering Java Concurrency and Multithreading

Build Faster, Smarter, and More Scalable Java Applications
Java’s concurrency and multithreading capabilities are more important than ever. This fully Revised and Updated Second Edition gives you a clear, practical roadmap to mastering threads, parallel programming, and high-performance concurrent applications.
Inside, you’ll discover:
• Core Concurrency Concepts – Understand the differences between processes and threads, the Java memory model, and best practices for thread creation.
• Synchronization and Safety – Prevent race conditions, deadlocks, and other pitfalls with synchronized blocks, locks, and advanced tools from java.util.concurrent.
• High-Level Utilities and Frameworks – Learn the Executor framework, thread pools, concurrent collections, and the Fork/Join framework for divide-and-conquer tasks.
• Modern Parallel Programming – Harness Java 8+ parallel streams, asynchronous programming with CompletableFuture, and reactive programming techniques.
• Virtual Threads & Project Loom – Explore Java’s newest feature for lightweight concurrency, improving scalability with minimal overhead.
• Testing and Performance Tuning – Debug, profile, and optimize your concurrent code for maximum reliability and speed.
Whether you’re building responsive web servers, real-time trading systems, or scalable data processing pipelines, this Second Edition will help you write clean, maintainable, and high-performance concurrent Java code.
