| Overview |
| | |
| Isnt it nice to be able to read and scroll the text of a Web page while the graphics continue to load? How about having a document in a word processor print in the background while you open another document for editing? Perhaps youve enjoyed writing a response to an email message while another incoming message with a large file attached is quietly downloaded simultaneously ? Threads make all this convenient functionality possible by allowing a multithreaded program to do more than one task at a time. This book helps you learn the skills and techniques necessary to incorporate that kind of useful functionality into your Java programs. |
