Abstract
Developing multithreaded applications is much easier when threads don’t interact, typically via shared variables. When interaction occurs, various problems can arise that make an application thread-unsafe (incorrect in a multithreaded context). In this chapter, you’ll learn about these problems and also learn how to overcome them through the correct use of Java’s synchronization-oriented language features.
