highly recommended

Thanks for the clear, well written book with many examples

Paul does an extremely good job of explaining threads. Even
though I haven't yet completed the book, I have already gotten
my moneys worth out of it.
.
It has been quite awhile since I looked into threads. I've had
little opportunity to use them, and none in Java. So, I was
quite pleased to see the number of very positive comments about
this book. I have yet to understand the harsh rating by Dan.
.
I bought this book (mainly because of the number of good
reviews) because I had a problem I was trying to solve. Since
getting the book, I've worked my way through 8 chapters, and
have greatly enjoyed reading the material, as well as having
learned/relearned a vast amount about Java threads.
.
Pros:
- Excellent writing style
- Very few (as far as I can tell anyway ;-) errors
- Use of a variety of example styles to demonstrate thread
relationships, and timings - these make for much better
comprehension of the material.
.
Cons: (nothing significant)
- End of section/chapter exercises could be of benefit.

Too Java Centric

WHATS IN IT? Great introduction to Java Threads. A couple of Java Thread Work-arounds. A few ad-ons to the Java Thread API.

WHATS NOT IN IT? Won't get you long in thread design - no patterns, no hints of ways to debug, no hint of how to diagram etc..

Should be **JAVA** Thread Programming (with a few add-ons to the API :-)

4 stars for being good at what it is - easy to read/understand.

Able to benefit immediately from examples

Excellent coverage of Java threads. I found the examples complete enough to be able to use immediately in my project. Hyde covers important concurrency issues which could get an unsuspecting programmer into trouble. This book is a valuable addition to my Java library.

I now know Java threading, EXCELLENT book

I kept this book on my shelf for several months before cracking it, figuring Threading was a daunting subject and the book would be a chore to read. But once I started I found the book extremely readable, clear, and enjoyable to follow. Examples are excellent, concise, and highlighted to draw attention to the threading aspects of the code. AND he numbers the lines so he can easily refer to them in the following text (does he have a patent on this that prevents other authors from using the technique?). I was so impressed w/ Paul Hyde's ability to organize and explain complicated material that I checked for other books he'd written. Oddly this seems to be the only programming title he's authored. Buy this book.
