Java Concurrency & Multithreading: beginner to intermediate

Unlock the Power of Parallelism with Java Concurrency & Multithreading

Boost application performance by harnessing the full potential of your processor! This comprehensive course dives deep into Java concurrency and multithreading, equipping you with the skills to parallelize computations and eliminate idle cycles. We'll explore the core concepts and provide practical coding examples using the Java Development Kit (JDK) to demonstrate real-world applications.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Understand Processes vs. Threads: Gain a solid foundation by grasping the fundamental differences between operating system processes and threads.
• Define Threads in Java: Master the creation of threads using Thread, Runnable, and Callable interfaces.
• Navigate Thread States & Lifecycle: Become proficient in understanding and managing the various states of a thread and its lifecycle.
• Thread Startup Techniques: Learn diverse methods for initiating threads, including .start(), ExecutorService, and leveraging .parallelStream() for efficient parallel processing.
• ExecutorService Thread Reuse: Understand the benefits and implementation of the ExecutorService for optimized thread management and reuse.
• Blocking & Non-Blocking with Futures: Explore both blocking and non-blocking approaches to asynchronous operations using the Future interface.
• Daemon Threads: Learn about daemon threads and their role in application lifecycle management.
• Thread Control: join() & interrupt(): Effectively utilize the .join() and .interrupt() methods for thread synchronization and control.
• Data Race Mitigation: Understand the critical concept of data races and learn how to prevent them using the volatile keyword.
• Race Conditions & Mutex Strategies: Grasp the concept of race conditions and implement effective mitigation strategies using the mutex pattern.
• Synchronization with synchronized: Write robust Java code employing the synchronized keyword to implement the mutex paradigm.
• Atomic Operations with compare-and-swap: Explore the compare-and-swap processor instruction and its application within the Java Atomic package.
• AtomicInteger Usage: Learn when and how to effectively use AtomicInteger for thread-safe integer operations.
• ThreadLocal for Data Isolation: Understand and implement thread-local storage using the ThreadLocal class.
• JVM Thread Dumps: Develop the ability to capture and analyze JVM thread dumps for debugging and performance analysis.
