Concurrency Concepts in Java

Conference

Java Language

Room 1

Wednesday from 11:00 til 11:50

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 the memory model and standard library, Java concurrency is still subtle and often surprising.

In this talk, you'll learn many of these subtleties and also see some of the changes and additions to come in Java 9 & 10.
