Improve the performance of your application by using modern Java s multithreading features
Key Features
- Increase the performance and responsiveness of your application with multithreading
- Hands-on examples demonstrating how to write concurrent and parallel programs, and quizzes to help you to retain your knowledge
- Coverage of the latest concurrency enhancements in Java
Book Description
Multi-core processors are everywhere—from super-computers to mobile devices right in your pocket. That's why a modern developer must know how to leverage the power of multithreading.
This course will teach you how to use parallelism and concurrency in Java. You will learn how to parallelize tasks and functions with the ForkJoin framework and Streams. You will also learn how to work with the very popular Reactive Streams recently introduced to Java. Furthermore, you will master concurrent collections and lower-level synchronization techniques with locks.
This course conveniently provides quizzes to evaluate your knowledge and help you retain the new concepts.
By the end of this practical training course, you will have the knowledge to write elegant programs for multicore computers with enhanced performance and improved responsiveness.
