Programming Concurrency on the JVM: Mastering Synchronization, STM, and Actors

""There has been an explosion of interest and application for both new concurrency models and new languages on the JVM. Venkat's book ties it all together and shows the working developer how to structure their application and get the most out of existing libraries, even if they were built in a different language. This book is the natural successor to Java Concurrency in Practice.""--Alex Miller, Architect/Senior Engineer, Revelytix, Inc. ""If the JVM is your platform of choice, then this book is an absolute must-read. Buy it, read it, and then buy a copy for all your team members. You will well be on your way to finding a good solution to concurrency issues.""--Raju Gandhi, Senior consultant, Integrallis Software, LLC ""An excellent book! Venkat skillfully leads us through the many design and implementation decisions that today's JVM developer faces in multithreaded programming. His easy-to-read style and the many examples he provides--using a variety of current open source tools and JVM languages--make this complex topic very approachable.""--Albert Scherer, Manager, eCommerce Technologies, Follett Higher Education Group, Inc.
