1. Multithreading and Concurrency

Multithreading and concurrency enhance the performance and responsiveness of Java applications by allowing multiple tasks to be executed simultaneously. The chapter covers fundamental concepts such as thread creation, life cycles, scheduling, synchronization techniques, and the significance of utilizing concurrency utilities. Best practices for safe and effective concurrent programming are also emphasized.

    Multithreading And Concurrency

    This section discusses the fundamentals of multithreading and concurrency in Java, focusing on threads, synchronization, and concurrency utilities.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.1.1

    What Is A Thread?

    Threads in Java are lightweight processes that allow for concurrent execution within applications.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.1.2

    Creating Threads In Java

    This section covers the two primary methods of creating threads in Java: extending the Thread class and implementing the Runnable interface.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.1.3

    Thread Life Cycle

    The thread life cycle in Java describes the various states a thread can be in during its execution.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.1.4

    Thread Scheduling

    Thread scheduling in Java determines the order in which threads are executed, influenced by priority levels.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.1.5

    Synchronization

    Synchronization in Java is a mechanism to control access to shared resources by multiple threads, preventing race conditions and ensuring thread safety.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.1.6

    Inter-Thread Communication

    Inter-thread communication in Java allows threads to communicate through methods like wait(), notify(), and notifyAll() within synchronized blocks.
