Reasonable preview of the book available at the above link for you to decide whether you really need this or not.
To me it looks like the one place documentation that I will refer to when you dont find your colleagues to share your confused state of mind when making a design decision.
Available at Amazon.com at $60. Shipping cost to India = +$9 approx.
The author says and I quote, "The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce techniques for safe and efficient concurrent programming. We'll begin by reviewing the basic concepts, and then move on to cover concurrency design patterns."
Rightly said!
The second part of the tutorial is not for the novice programmer, it may not make sense. But if you have done some amount of multi-threaded design and appreciate the challenges it poses, or if you are using Boost libraries and wished that they had better examples to explain, then this is a good resource to read.
Java's Thread.sleep(long milliseconds ) is a completely unreliable and lies worse than even Fox News....Really! Read more.
Happy Reading.//
