Overview/Description

In this demo-only course you will cover the basics of synchronization of threads in Java in order to prevent the unpredictability of the race condition. You will get experience with the implementation of synchronized functions and blocks, and also the use of Java lock objects such as the ReentrantLock and StampedLock.

Lesson Objectives

Multithreading and Concurrency in Java: Thread Synchronization & Locks

discover the key concepts covered in this course

recognize the situations where a race condition could occur in Java

implement synchronized functions to manage multiple threads updating the same resource

differentiate between synchronized functions and synchronized blocks in Java

recall the conditions under which concurrent threads could encounter a deadlock in Java

identify some of the options available to prevent the occurrence of deadlocks

introduce a ReentrantLock in your program to enable exclusive access to a shared resource

use the tryLock() method of a ReentrantLock to prevent a potentially long wait for a resource

configure a thread to wait on a resource for a limited amount of time by using the tryLock() method of a ReentrantLock

implement a StampedLock to regulate access to a shared resource

distinguish between a readLock and writeLock for a Java StampedLock

summarize the key concepts covered in this course
