Java Forum / General / May 2007free book on concurrent programming
does anyone know of any free book on concurrent programming, whether the general or one that is tied to concurrent java? i'll appreciate any help. a student. would need something not earlier than 2003. thanks > does anyone know of any free book on concurrent programming, whether > the general or one that is tied to concurrent java? i'll appreciate > any help. a student. would need something not earlier than 2003. > thanks GIYF. To get you started: <http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/index.html> If you search around java.sun.com you will run into a ton of white papers and the like, many of which will help you. Read up on Hoare monitors, and check out the Java Language Specification (JLS) for the straight dope. <http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/j3TOC.html> <http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/memory.html>  SignatureLew > > does anyone know of any free book on concurrent programming, whether > > the general or one that is tied to concurrent java? i'll appreciate [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > -- > Lew dear lew, i have the sun tutorial on java as well as the jls but i need something that explains the concepts or principles of concurrent programming before i delve into the api itself. can you refer me to any that is free and online? i checked up hoare monitors on wikipedia but they're for OS. cyprian wrote On 05/21/07 14:32,: >>>does anyone know of any free book on concurrent programming, whether >>>the general or one that is tied to concurrent java? i'll appreciate [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > any that is free and online? i checked up hoare monitors on wikipedia > but they're for OS. Have you checked the Tutorial's section on concurrency? http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/index.html There's also a section on concurrency considerations for Swing programming: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/concurrency/index.html SignatureEric.Sosman@sun.com cyprian wrote: >>>> does anyone know of any free book on concurrent programming, whether >>>> the general or one that is tied to concurrent java?

Or, more simply: "Did you actually follow the link you were given?"

Or, more simply: "Did you actually > follow the link you were given?" I understood that. I just thought it might've been too subtle, so I repeated it on the principle of "notice that a lot of people are pointing down the same path".

Drexel is a pretty good university from all I've heard. That hit looked so good I bookmarked it. The second hit I got on Google looks pretty good, but might be a tad too advanced for what you're asking for. The third hit got me to free online material related to the book /Concurrent Programming in Java/. which IIRC is pretty much the Bible on the subject: <http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/cpj/index.html> I'm bookmarking this one, too. I'm glad you made us do the googling for you. I don't think I'd've checked out these goldmines of information if you'd done it yourself. Thank you. > i checked up hoare monitors on wikipedia but they're for OS. Uh, no, not exclusively or even primarily. Every implicit lock in a Java object is a Hoare monitor. Besides, that's not what the Wikipedia article says: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_%28synchronization%29> makes it very clear that the idea is used in computer languages as well as OSes. Searching Wikipedia for "Hoare monitor" turned up all sorts of computer language references, such as <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_Plus_%28programming_language%29> The whole "synchronized" mechanism in Java is based on Hoare monitors. <http://java.sun.com/docs/white/langenv/Threaded.doc1.html> by Gosling himself, with Henry McGilton. Bookmarking. For this one I didn't use Google because I remembered that Sun had stuff on the subject, but I'm sure Google would tell you more still.
