Overview/Description  
The Producer-Consumer problem is a common issue to address when we have concurrent producer and consumer threads working with a bounded buffer. Solving this problem covers a variety of synchronization mechanisms in Java, and this course covers the implementation of synchronization blocks, locks, Condition objects, and Java's built-in data structures.
