Starting threads is easy, benefiting from them without being burnt is hard. The multithreading API in Java has evolved quite a bit since the early stages. There are four options for concurrency in pure Java today: the modern JDK API, the Software Transaction Memory, the actor based concurrency, and Java 8 Parallel Streams. In this workshop, using practical examples, you will dive deep into all of these options, learn how to use these, learn their pros and cons, and clearly understand which option to pick when. |
