If you need to understand concurrency, this book is your guide to the fundamentals behind the advanced software you seek to implement to achieve highly responsive and scalable code. Support for parallel computation is an essential part of concurrency. Concurrency is an advanced concept and solutions are not straightforward. Many developers have been burned by it and are still being burned by it. This book aims to simplify the concept for C# developers. It tries to simplify the concept using the Task Parallel Library (TPL), Concurrent Collections, Parallel LINQ (PLINQ), Asynchronous Programming Patterns, and related topics. The book starts with an overview of TPL and discusses Tasks. Understanding these areas is necessary to learn the concepts that follow in the book. You will go through special scenarios, such as handling exceptions and cancellations, followed by demonstrations of synchronization techniques and concurrent collections. You will see demonstrations of parallel loops to speed up the computations. And you'll understand PLINQ in detail. Asynchronous programming with async and await keywords is discussed. The book contains “Q&A sessions”, review questions, and exercises (in .NET 8 and C#12). After reading the book, you will be able to understand advanced concepts in parallel programming and implement them in your code. For developers familiar with C# but are absolute beginners for parallel programming.

This is the fourth edition of the popular computer science textbook Java Methods. The book offers a thorough introduction to the concepts and practices of object-oriented programming in Java. It also introduces the most common data structures and related algorithms and their implementations in the Java collections framework. Chapters 1-14 follow the syllabus of the AP Computer Science course. They will prepare you well for the AP CS exam. Chapters 15-18 on file input and output, graphics, graphical user interfaces, and events handling in Java will give you a better sense of real-world Java programming; this material also makes case studies, labs, and exercises more fun. Chapter 19 revisits recursion at a deeper level. Chapter 20 introduces the concepts of look-up tables, sets, and maps, and their implementation in the Java Collections Framework. The last chapter, Computing in Context, discusses creative, responsible, and ethical computer use. The book follows four main threads: Java syntax and style, OOP concepts and techniques, algorithms, and Java libraries. As in the software engineering profession itself, these threads are interwoven into an inseparable braid. Working through this book will not make you a Java expert right away, but it will bring you to the level of an entry-level Java programmer with a better than average understanding of the fundamental concepts. We also emphasize good programming style, an element not mandated by formal Java language specifications but essential for writing readable and professional code. Our labs and case studies aim to demonstrate the most appropriate uses of the programming techniques and data structures we cover.
