Step into the world of concurrent programming with our specialized course designed to master Java's threading and concurrency capabilities. This course delves into the essentials of creating and managing worker threads using Runnable and Callable interfaces, providing you with the skills to efficiently handle concurrent code execution. You'll explore the lifecycle of threads and the automation provided by various executor services and the concurrent API, ensuring you can manage tasks effectively. Our lessons cover the intricacies of thread pooling, task submission, and lifecycle management, including shutdown procedures and task completion monitoring. Additionally, you'll gain a deep understanding of developing thread-safe code, tackling common challenges such as race conditions, deadlocks, and livelocks. The course provides practical insights into using Java's concurrency APIs, including blocking queues, concurrent collections, and synchronization mechanisms, to create robust and efficient multi-threaded applications. By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and skills to harness the full potential of Java's concurrency features, enabling you to build scalable and responsive applications.

There is 1 module in this course
There are three objectives in the group managing concurrent code execution, but we already addressed one of them, which was process Java collections concurrently, including the use of parallel streams. So we won't look at that here. The other two objectives in this group are the subject of this module. They are create worker threads using runable and callable, manage the thread lifecycle, including automations provided by different executive services and concurrent API. Develop thread-safe code using different locking mechanisms and concurrent API.
