java concurrency assignments [closed]

Question

I am Java EE developer, and I want to get skills on concurrency development.
Could you provide me some assignments, ideas, or other - just for learning and training concurrency programming?

Answer 1

There's a brilliant book about Java concurrency called "Java Concurrency in Practice". I think this is the best starting point for diving deep into advanced concurrency.

Java Concurrency in Practice (Amazon)

Answer 2

To start with just start coding to get an idea of some of the problems that may arise.

To get you started try writing the following:

1. How would you implement a simple blocking queue?
2. How do you stop a thread?
3. How would you ensure only a single thread can read and write to a collection at a time?
4. What would happen if you modify a collection while another thread is iterating over it.
5. etc, etc

Just go online and maybe do a search for interview questions on concurrency.
