Advanced Java: Threads and Concurrency

This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course Advanced Java: Threads and Concurrency. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.

Are you looking to boost your Java skills? In this course, join instructor and Java expert Buddhini Samarakkody as she provides an overview of Java threads and the new concurrent programming model. Buddhini covers topics in synchronization such as Java thread memory access and associated problems such as race condition and data race. Explore the purpose of synchronization and how to use it, before turning to asynchronous programming with Future and CompletableFuture. Buddhini shows you how to use executors, the fork/join framework and its core classes, concurrent data structures, Project Loom, and virtual threads. Along the way, be sure to test out your new skills in the exercise challenges at the end of each section.

See the readme file in the main branch for updated instructions and information.

Instructions

This repository has branches for each of the videos in the course. You can use the branch pop up menu in github to switch to a specific branch and take a look at the course at that stage, or you can add /tree/BRANCH_NAME to the URL to go to the branch you want to access.

Branches

The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is CHAPTER#_MOVIE#. As an example, the branch named 02_03 corresponds to the second chapter and the third video in that chapter. Some branches will have a beginning and an end state. These are marked with the letters b for "beginning" and e for "end". The b branch contains the code as it is at the beginning of the movie. The e branch contains the code as it is at the end of the movie. The main branch holds the final state of the code when in the course.
