Concurrent programming is one of the most powerful parts of Java, but also one of the easiest to get wrong. This book provides a practical and progressive introduction to writing concurrent programs with modern Java.

Starting with traditional threads, shared state, race conditions, synchronization, and thread safety, the book builds toward higher-level abstractions including atomic operations, concurrent collections, executors, futures, CompletableFuture, virtual threads, and structured concurrency.

Along the way, you will explore common concurrency patterns and techniques such as producer-consumer pipelines, task coordination, asynchronous composition, resource limiting, and safe access to shared data. The emphasis is not only on learning APIs, but on understanding the problems they are designed to solve and the trade-offs involved in choosing between them.

Examples are kept focused and practical so that the behavior of concurrent programs can be observed and experimented with directly. The book also discusses typical concurrency problems, including race conditions, deadlocks, livelocks, starvation, and busy waiting.

A companion GitHub repository, referenced inside the book, contains runnable versions of the examples presented in the chapters, together with additional real-world examples that combine multiple concurrency mechanisms in complete applications.

Concurrent Programming in Java is intended for developers, students, and instructors who already understand basic Java and want to progress from traditional thread-based programming to the concurrency model introduced by Project Loom.
