AVOID COMMON THREADING TANGLES

Threading is a time-tested and reliable development technique for a
staggering percentage of Java coders. So why is threading one of the leading
sources of coding errors, development bugs, and Java programmers'
headaches? Like many similar Java bellwethers, threading has its share 
of common associated mistakes and easy-to-commit programming errors. The trick
lies in avoiding these threading "gotchas."

Threading is employed primarily to accommodate application multitasking.
However, the constraints of Java require explicit threading to prevent
your I/O from crumbling into a nonblocking nightmare. Developers must take
extreme care in establishing appropriate synchronization and reading
action within threading apps to avoid such problems.

Gain insight with a discussion of several common threading problems and
the proper practices Java developers can use to avoid these traps. Also
find out how to employ threading without gumming the works in your
multitasking applications, and learn why threading is far more 
complicated than first glances may suggest.
