What are the best resources to learn Java Synchronization/Concurrency concepts?

  • Answer:

    The best resource that I found is the book Java Concurrency in Practice by Brian Goetz. It takes you through every aspect of concurrency. There is also a Google Tech Talk about Java Memory Model: For some advanced and subtle topics I found useful some blog posts of Jeremy Manson http://jeremymanson.blogspot.com, the documentation (and the source code) of the java.util.concurrent package and some articles like the one on https://blogs.oracle.com/dave/entry/biased_locking_in_hotspot for understanding the performance impact of different synchronization mechanisms.

I would do a detailed study in the following order. You will need to fully understand each step. - Process vs Threads - Synchronization using the synchronized keyword. - Locks and Conditions vs Monitor - Volatile , atomics, final variables and thread local variables - semaphore, barriers and latches - concurrency collections - Thread safe collections - Callable and Future constructs You can then use Brian Goetz's book and every introductory Java book and online information to get a holistic grasp on the subject. Keep notes and links. Refresh your understanding every few months. :) All along you should be trying out examples for each concept.
