Well, Java Concurrency in Practice certainly isn't low quality but it is boring and outdated. An alternative would be Clojure For the Brave And True :)

- cjensen 13y agoThe point is to get the reader ahead of the curve! It's not really Java they're suggesting you learn: it's concurrency. Once you learn concurrency in one language, much of your understanding carries forward to other languages. Intel has told us multicore is the future. They're trying to get you ready for it. Less certain is whether Java or Clojure will be the new cool thing.
- pivo 13y agoJava may be outdated, but "Java Concurrency in Practice" is not outdated if you're one of the millions of Java programmers still working in that language.
- camperman 13y agoWell, yeah. My point, made somewhat tongue in cheek, was that you can avoid all of the horror stories of Java concurrency by switching to Clojure.
- freyrs3 13y agoOnly if you think Clojure is the natural progression of Java. This seems like a minority view though.
