Where can I find some good examples to learn the basics of threading? [closed]

Question

I am at the end of my first year doing computer science and want to mess around with something basic. I want to use threads so I can learn.

What are some good examples to learn from?

Answer 1

You should try the java tutorials from Sun on concurrency.

Answer 2

I recommend the book Concurrent Programming in Java: Design Principles and Patterns by Doug Lea. Doug Lea was one of my professors at SUNY Oswego - great professor, brilliant man. The book is excellent and gives you a ton of great information on writing good multithreaded code in Java.

Oh yeah, and Doug Lea wrote most of java.util.concurrent. So he's a pretty good authority on the subject ;-)
