java.util.concurrent , examples, tutorial and code [closed]

Question

I've been ask to build a multi-threaded java application using the java.util.concurrent library. I'm not familiar with this library, but have a good understanding of problems with multi-threaded code.

I'm looking for a tutorial and example code that shows this java library in use and it's best practises.

Answer 1

If you are a fast learner, I recommend the site www.java2s.com (Java API by Example).

Here's the full link for the concurrent package: http://www.java2s.com/Code/JavaAPI/java.util.concurrent/Catalogjava.util.concurrent.htm

EDIT: If you can spend some cash (and isn't in a hurry), I recommend this book: Java Concurrency in Practice http://www.amazon.com/Java-Concurrency-Practice-Brian-Goetz/dp/0321349601/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1290021702&sr=8-1

It is really full of examples and good practices.

Answer 2

I usually prefer to learn from the primary source and recommend this one: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/concurrency/index.html

Also I like very much book "Thinking in Java" by Bruce Eckel

Answer 3

You can try my brief notes on the subject (it's only 10 pages). I've made this quick tutorial after reading some articles alongside with javadoc for java.util.concurrent.
