Programming Concurrency - cont.

Hand's on Labs

Java SE

Room 7

Thursday at 13:30 - 17:00

This is continuation of morning workshop, not a separate workshop. You need to be present on both parts as it is a whole day workshop.

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.
