Threads are what allow a computer program to appear to be doing two or more things at the same time. They aren't really, but they do tasks so quickly that they appear to be. Any program written in Java has to make use of threads, but understanding how they work, and what to do when they don't work, is not simple stuff, even for experienced programmers. Java Threads is a thorough tutorial on using threads in Java. Covering everything from the basics of creating threads, through synchronization and conditions, handling deadlocks, thread lifecycles, and thread management, this is an essential book that supplements knowledge of basic functionality with in-depth, practical exploration of advanced issues.
