Multithreading gives developers using the Java 2 platform a powerful tool for
dramatically improving the responsiveness and performance of their programs on any
platform, even those without inherent multithreading support. Multithreaded
Programming with Java Technology is the first complete guide to multithreaded
development with the Java 2 platform. Multithreading experts Bill Lewis and Daniel
J. Berg cover the underlying structures upon which threads are built; thread
construction; and thread cycles, including birth, life, death, and cancellation. Next, using extensive code examples, they cover everything developers need to know to make the most of multithreading.
