Concurrency Concepts in Java
ÜberConf
Denver · July 18 - 21, 2017
About this Presentation
Unlike earlier languages, Java had a well-defined threading and memory model from the beginning. And over the years, Java gained new packages to help solve concurrency problems.
Despite this, Java concurrency is sometimes subtle and fraught with peril.
In this talk, you'll learn these subtleties. And finally, you'll learn how to handle concurrency by exploring the concepts behind java.util.concurrent and other concurrency libraries.
