The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Java Threads (Java Series (O'Reilly & Associates).)':

Reviewer amazon.com wrote:
Building sophisticated Java applets means learning about threading--if you need to read data from a network, for example, you can't afford to let a delay in its delivery lock up your entire applet. Java Threads introduces the Java threading API and uses non-computing analogies--such as scenarios involving bank tellers--to explain the need for synchronization and the dangers of deadlock. Scott Oaks and Henry Wong follow up their high-level examples with more detailed discussions on building a thread scheduler in Java, dealing with advanced synchronization issues, and handling exceptions.
Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
The concept of threading in programming is not new, but it is still considered a specialized topic. Java supports threads in an integral manner, and provides for easy use. Therefore, this book can serve programmers of many levels. Novices who are starting out with Java may find it to their advantage to get a more substantial grounding in the topic than is provided in most introductory texts. Intermediate programmers may be moving easily into Java, but having trouble with threading because of a lack of experience from previous work. Experts may wish to extend the threading support provided within Java in order to deal with advanced problems. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1997
