Introduction to Concurrent Programming

Concurrent programming is a core skill for building high-performance Java applications. It enables efficient resource utilization by allowing multiple tasks to execute simultaneously.

Key Concepts:

  • Threads & Processes 🧠
  • Synchronization 🔒
  • Thread Safety 🛡️
  • Deadlock Avoidance ⚠️

Best Practices for Concurrent Programming

  1. Use Thread-Local Variables 🧼
    Reduce contention by isolating data per thread.
  2. Leverage Executor Frameworks 🧩
    Simplify thread management with ExecutorService.
  3. Implement Atomic Operations ⚙️
    Ensure data consistency using java.util.concurrent.atomic.
  4. Avoid Shared Mutable State 🚫
    Prefer immutable objects or synchronized access.
