Hello guys, one of my reader Shobhit asked this question and I really liked the question and thought that many Java programmers might have the same doubt whenever someone recommends them to read Java Concurrency in Practice. When this book came first in 2006, Java world was still not sure of about new concurrency changes made in Java 1.5, I think the first big attempt to improve Java’s built-in support for multi-threading and concurrency. Many Java programmers were even not aware of new tools introduced in the API like CountDownLatch, CyclicBarrier, ConcurrentHashMap, and much more. The book offered them the seamless introduction of those tools and how they can use them to write high-performance concurrent Java applications. This is the general view of the book, which many Java developer will give you when you asked them about how did you find “Java Concurrency in Practice”, but mine view is slightly different from them and that’s the main reason I still recommend Java Concurrency in Practice to any new Java developer or intermediate developers who want to master concurrency concepts. The most important thing this book introduce was clear concepts and fundamentals of concurrent programming like visibility, ordering, thread-safety, immutability, parallelism, etc. It also goes on to explain why most concurrent applications are incorrectly written in Java and the common mistakes made by Java programmers which result in multi-threading issues like race conditions, deadlock, livelock, memory interference, and simply incorrect calculation. Emoticons are used to show the bad practice before introducing the good and right way to do helped a lot not only to correct the misconception many Java developers had before but to sow the seed of right information pertaining to multi-threading and concurrency among Java...
