Book Description
As processors become faster and multiprocessor systems become cheaper, the need to take advantage of multithreading in order to achieve full hardware resource utilization only increases the importance of being able to incorporate concurrency in a wide variety of application categories. For many developers, concurrency remains a mystery. Developing, testing, and debugging multithreaded programs is extremely difficult because concurrency hazards do not manifest themselves uniformly or reliably. This book is intended to be neither an introduction to concurrency (any threading chapter in an "intro" book does that) nor is it an encyclopedic reference of All Things Concurrency (that would be Doug Lea's Concurrent Programming in Java). Instead, this title is a combination of concepts, guidelines, and examples intended to assist developers in the difficult process of understanding concurrency and its new tools in J2SE 5.0. Filled with contributions from Java gurus such as Josh Bloch, David Holmes, and Doug Lea, this book provides any Java programmers with the basic building blocks they need to gain a basic understanding of concurrency and its benefits.

From the Back Cover

"I was fortunate indeed to have worked with a fantastic team on the design and implementation of the concurrency features added to the Java platform in Java 5.0 and Java 6. Now this same team provides the best explanation yet of these new features, and of concurrency in general. Concurrency is no longer a subject for advanced users only. Every Java developer should read this book."
--Martin Buchholz
JDK Concurrency Czar, Sun Microsystems

"For the past 30 years, computer performance has been driven by Moore's Law; from now on, it will be driven by Amdahl's Law. Writing code that effectively exploits multiple processors can be very challenging. Java Concurrency in Practice provides you with the concepts and techniques needed to write safe and scalable Java programs for today's--and tomorrow's--systems."
--Doron Rajwan
Research Scientist, Intel Corp

"This is the book you need if you're writing--or designing, or debugging, or maintaining, or contemplating--multithreaded Java programs. If you've ever had to synchronize a method and you weren't sure why, you owe it to yourself and your users to read this book, cover to cover."
--Ted Neward
Author of Effective Enterprise Java

"Brian addresses the fundamental issues and complexities of concurrency with uncommon clarity. This book is a must-read for anyone who uses threads and cares about performance."
--Kirk Pepperdine
CTO, JavaPerformanceTuning.com

"This book covers a very deep and subtle topic in a very clear and concise way, making it the perfect Java Concurrency reference manual. Each page is filled with the problems (and solutions!) that programmers struggle with every day. Effectively exploiting concurrency is becoming more and more important now that Moore's Law is delivering more cores but not faster cores, and this book will show you how to do it."
--Dr. Cliff Click
Senior Software Engineer, Azul Systems

"I have a strong interest in concurrency, and have probably written more thread deadlocks and made more synchronization mistakes than most programmers. Brian's book is the most readable on the topic of threading and concurrency in Java, and deals with this difficult subject with a wonderful hands-on approach. This is a book I am recommending to all my readers of The Java Specialists' Newsletter, because it is interesting, useful, and relevant to the problems facing Java developers today."
--Dr. Heinz Kabutz
The Java Specialists' Newsletter

"I've focused a career on simplifying simple problems, but this book ambitiously and effectively works to simplify a complex but critical subject: concurrency. Java Concurrency in Practice is revolutionary in its approach, smooth and easy in style, and timely in its delivery--it's destined to be a very important book."
--Bruce Tate
Author of Beyond Java

"Java Concurrency in Practice is an invaluable compilation of threading know-how for Java developers. I found reading this book intellectually exciting, in part because it is an excellent introduction to Java's concurrency API, but mostly because it captures in a thorough and accessible way expert knowledge on threading not easily found elsewhere."
--Bill Venners
Author of Inside the Java Virtual Machine

Threads are a fundamental part of the Java platform. As multicore processors become the norm, using concurrency effectively becomes essential for building high-performance applications. Java SE 5 and 6 are a huge step forward for the development of concurrent applications, with improvements to the Java Virtual Machine to support high-performance, highly scalable concurrent classes and a rich set of new concurrency building blocks. In Java Concurrency in Practice, the creators of these new facilities explain not only how they work and how to use them, but also the motivation and design patterns behind them.

However, developing, testing, and debugging multithreaded programs can still be very difficult; it is all too easy to create concurrent programs that appear to work, but fail when it matters most: in production, under heavy load. Java Concurrency in Practice arms readers with both the theoretical underpinnings and concrete techniques for building reliable, scalable, maintainable concurrent applications. Rather than simply offering an inventory of concurrency APIs and mechanisms, it provides design rules, patterns, and mental models that make it easier to build concurrent programs that are both correct and performant.

This book covers:

* Basic concepts of concurrency and thread safety
* Techniques for building and composing thread-safe classes
* Using the concurrency building blocks in java.util.concurrent
* Performance optimization dos and don'ts
* Testing concurrent programs
* Advanced topics such as atomic variables, nonblocking algorithms, and the Java Memory Model

Book Description

Effective Java Programming Language Guide distills the hard-won wisdom of today's best Java programmers into 50 techniques for designing and constructing more robust, high-performance software. Josh Bloch, one of Sun's most widely respected Java developers, focuses on the practical problems virtually every Java developer encounters, offering specific solutions and top-notch code examples. Josh Bloch identifies 50 practices that lead directly to better code -- including better alternatives for common practices that have proven undesirable in real-world development. The techniques are specific, thoroughly explained, and supported by top-notch code examples. Among the highlights: why developers should avoid finalizers; when to use delegation instead of inheritance; and how to make the most of Java's powerful typesafe enum pattern. Nearly all 50 practices relate to the "core" of the Java platform -- the language itself -- making the book relevant to every Java developer.

Topics covered:

* Best practices and tips for Java
* Creating and destroying objects (static factory methods, singletons, avoiding duplicate objects and finalizers)
* Required methods for custom classes (overriding equals(), hashCode(), toString(), clone(), and compareTo() properly)
* Hints for class and interface design (minimizing class and member accessibility, immutability, composition versus inheritance, interfaces versus abstract classes, preventing subclassing, static versus nonstatic classes)
* C constructs in Java (structures, unions, enumerated types, and function pointers in Java)
* Tips for designing methods (parameter validation, defensive copies, method signatures, method overloading, zero-length arrays, hints for Javadoc comments)
* General programming advice (local variable scope, using Java API libraries, avoiding float and double for exact comparisons, when to avoid strings, string concatenation, interfaces and reflection, avoid native methods, optimizing hints, naming conventions)
* Programming with exceptions (checked versus run-time exceptions, standard exceptions, documenting exceptions, failure-capture information, failure atomicity)
* Threading and multitasking (synchronization and scheduling hints, thread safety, avoiding thread groups)
* Serialization (when to implement Serializable, the readObject(), and readResolve() methods)

Book Description
JDBC is the key Java technology for relational database access. Oracle is arguably the most widely used relational database platform in the world. In this book, Donald Bales brings these two technologies together, and shows you how to leverage the full power of Oracle's implementation of JDBC.

You begin by learning the all-important mysteries of establishing database connections. This can be one of the most frustrating areas for programmers new to JDBC, and Donald covers it well with detailed information and examples showing how to make database connections from applications, applets, Servlets, and even from Java programs running within the database itself.

Next comes thorough coverage of JDBC's relational SQL features. You'll learn how to issue SQL statements and get results back from the database, how to read and write data from large, streaming data types such as BLOBs, CLOBs, and BFILEs, and you'll learn how to interface with Oracle's other built-in programming language, PL/SQL.

If you're taking advantage of the Oracle's relatively new ability to create object tables and column objects based on user-defined datatypes, you'll be pleased with Don's thorough treatment of this subject. Don shows you how to use JPublisher and JDBC to work seamlessly with Oracle database objects from within Java programs. You'll also learn how to access nested tables and arrays using JDBC.

Donald concludes the book with a discussion of transaction management, locking, concurrency, and performance--topics that every professional JDBC programmer must be familiar with. If you write Java programs to run against an Oracle database, this book is a must-have.

Review
This is not only a great introduction to JDM, but also a great introduction for a practitioner to data mining in general. This is a must have" for anyone developing large scale data mining applications in Java.
Robert Grossman, Open Data Group and University of Illinois at Chicago

It pleases me that the Java Community Process(sm)(JCPsm) Program could host the development of the Data Mining standard, JSR 73, whose evolution and usability are presented so compellingly in Java Data Mining: Standard, Strategy and Practice. The authors have taken a unique approach to describing a broad range of aspects from strategies to problem solving with data mining technology in a variety of industries. The book is a must-read for those who want to introduce themselves to Java data mining (JDM) and fully realize the strategic importance of this technology in an ever competitive environment.
Onno Kluyt, senior director, JCP Program at Sun Microsystems, Inc. and Chair of the JCP

Java is now ubiquitous, and over the past few years the Java world has shifted focus on--among other things--new frameworks, such as the Java Data Mining (JDM) framework. JDM addresses a clear need for standardization in data mining operations, yet to those approaching both Java and data mining the mountain seems as Everest. Hornick, Marcadé, and Venkayala could not have written this book at a better time. To the expert it is a reference and map of the landscape, and to the novice it will be a constant guide and companion to each journey in JDM. This book is approachable, usable, practical, and necessary for any Java data mining software architect, developer, or analyst.
Frank Byrum, Chief Scientist, CorMine Intelligent Data, LLC

Book Description
Whether you are a software developer, systems architect, data analyst, or business analyst, if you want to take advantage of data mining in the development of advanced analytic applications, Java Data Mining, JDM, the new standard now implemented in core DBMS and data mining/analysis software, is a key solution component. This book is the essential guide to the usage of the JDM standard interface, written by contributors to the JDM standard.

The book discusses and illustrates how to solve real problems using the JDM API. The authors provide you with:

* Data mining introductionan overview of data mining and the problems it can address across industries; JDMs place in strategic solutions to data mining-related problems;
* JDM essentialsconcepts, design approach and design issues, with detailed code examples in Java; a Web Services interface to enable JDM functionality in an SOA environment; and illustration of JDM XML Schema for JDM objects;
* JDM in practicethe use of JDM from vendor implementations and approaches to customer applications, integration, and usage; impact of data mining on IT infrastructure; a how-to guide for building applications that use the JDM API.
* Free, downloadable KJDM source code referenced in the book available here

Written for the working programmer who wants to get more speed out of Java, Java Performance and Scalability, Volume 1 bundles several dozen tips for faster and smaller Java code. Backed up by benchmarks of what works and what doesn't, this book provides essential wisdom for eliminating some common bottlenecks to Java performance.

The 48 optimizations for various aspects of the Java API make up the heart of this text. Early sections look at a particularly tricky subject--string processing--giving you several techniques for increasing speed and reducing object creation. The in-depth examination of the costs and benefits of string concatenation and the immutability of Java String objects will help you uncover possible hot spots that cause lagging performance with strings.

Subsequent sections look at more general strategies for faster programs, like purging obsolete code, and the well-known 80-20 rule (optimizing the 20 percent of your code that consumes 80 percent of processing time, allowing you to create faster software; this book shows you how). Short tips on such APIs as Java collections and the Java Native Interface (JNI) come next.

The second half of the book zeros in on better server-side performance with tips on caching and file I/O. The guide to multithreading and synchronization is a standout here. You'll get several smart tips for speeding up servlets, such as precomputing your standard strings for headers and other boilerplate HTML. The book closes with a valuable custom class for JDBC database connection pooling and a custom HTTP server. Both samples make use of the techniques presented earlier in the text. Even if you don't adopt every suggestion, the ideas here can get you thinking about performance in new ways. (One of the main points of this book is that you can write faster custom code, instead of always relying on built-in Java classes and APIs.)

Clearly, Java performance is not something that happens by accident; it must be engineered into your code. This compilation of useful techniques and tips deserves a close look by anyone who wants to squeeze more performance out of Java. --Richard Dragan

Topics covered:

* Introduction to Java performance
* More efficient Java string handling (optimizing String, StringBuffer, and StringTokenizer objects)
* Reducing Java overhead
* Faster initialization
* The 80-20 rule for optimization
* Getting rid of obsolete code
* Speeding up the JDK 1.1 Vector and Hashtable collection classes
* Caching techniques
* Optimizing file I/O and buffering
* Object recycling and object pools
* Techniques for multithreading and synchronization
* Amdahl's law and scalability basics
* Pros and cons of using the Java Native Interface (JNI)
* Hints for optimizing Remote Invocation Method (RIM) calls
* Performance hints for servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSPs)
* Custom sample code for JDBC database connection pooling and a Java HTTP server



Book Description
