In this book, it covers a lot of different concurrent programming constructs. Some of these constructs are commonly known for Computer Scientists (things such as Binary/Counting Semaphores, fork/join, acquire/release constructs, latches.). Going into this book, I thought this would be more of a review of some of my Computer Science studies. I was pleasantly surprised to learn new terms and techniques to handle concurrency issues that I never would have thought of without reading this book. These

Well, it took me a very long time to finish this one :) A couple of months or so. Style of the book is very academic, and I had to re-read some passages many times (also I've got to mention that it is somewhat hard to read this book while riding the subway :)
I never had any problem with cross references, as other reviewer mentions. And I don't think it's not worth a read because it's too old and outdated, I think it's as useful as ever. It explains some basic stuff, it elaborates on Java memory ...more

A very good overview of concurrent programming in Java. I was worried that the book might be now obsolete, but most topics are covered in timeless manner. The book goes over basic concurrency constructs in Java such as synchronized, wait, notify. Then it uses them to show useful design pattern. And those pattern are generalised into higher level concurrency utilities. I like that everything is clearly explained. The author provide details which leads to certain design decision. What is useful in

Strangely seems to assume you already know all the relevant issues with concurrent programming.

If you deal with any concurrency issues in Java this is a must - as is anything by Doug Lea
One of my favorite topics, and the legendary book every developer should read
Very good, although very out of date now.
