Looking for a good book about threads

Hello all,
I am looking for a good book about threads.
I would like something which is both practical, but also provides some theoretical basis.
I am an experienced programmer, with some, but not much, experience with concurrent design.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

I found the "Java Threads" book by Oaks and Wong to be fantastic:

  • Searching for a good book about [Arch Linux]

    Hello friends,
    I'm here stuck with Windows 8, making a couple of tests about installing Arch Linux in VMware Workstation, if it succeeds, I'll move to Arch completely. My question is: Is there a good book about Arch (installation, maintenance, best practices, security, and so on)? I tried "Arch Linux Environment set-up How-To", but unfortunately, it wasn't what I expected.
    I'm a little confused about UEFI + GRUB2 + GPT/MBR but I think I'll dominate it soon...
    My system:
    [PROCESSOR] >> Intel® Core™ i7-3840QM (8M Cache, up to 3.80 GHz)
    [GRAPHICS] >> Dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 680M GPU With 4GB GDDR5 Video Memory (SLi)
    [RAM] >> 16GB DDR3 SDRAM 1600MHz
    [SSD] >> OCZ Vertex 4 (256GB)
    [HDD] >> Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid (750GB)
    I wonder in how many seconds the system will boot up...

    @op  As others have mentioned, do not seek out knowledge from a book.  There has been quite a few shifts in Archlinux, specifically to uefi and systemd.  There are a few starters for your concern.
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … _Interface
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UEFI_Bootloaders
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide/Installation
    Other then that, there is the forums and a quick search will land you on a goldmine of knowledge.  Great idea to start it up in a vmware, although it will not require the uefi boot, but it will still get you a bit more familiar with the install process and iron out some basic questions.  Good luck!

  • Looking for a good tutorial about cookies

    Hello
    I'm looking for a good tutorial ( and clear enough for newbie like me ) on how to make 1.. or 2 cookies and some tips about how to make it.
    - I need to have a cookies that record and store the user preference if he is on an english browser but wish to see the french version of my website ( assume i have a browser language detection script ) and then again turn off the language detection script of the french page if you are on an english browser ( or the other way, if you choose the other way )..
    - I need to have a cookies that record the fact than if you are a mobile, you came on the webpage ( and got redirected the first time to the mobile page ) and that if you choose to click the button " go to regular website", it somehow turn off the mobile detection script on the main page so that the user will be able to navigate the real website if he want to.
    I have absolutly no idea how to make cookie, and even with google, i get basic information how to make cookie, call them, erase them, but not how to make them work like a twin with the other script, and not what to put inside a cookies... in short i know nothing about that ... yet....
    I'm not sure if i am clear, anyway any help, or tip's will be greatly appreciated. Thanks !
    I would prefer Java or Html tutorial for cookies if possible.

    I am a novice, but not a rookies.
    I did www.episodesoft.com It is my first project that so many feature for me. Previously i was only doing the preparation for another man who was scripting, but now i'm require to do all. My studying about html/java/css were only an introduction. I'm mainly self-learning and already learned a lot on this website.
    By the way, the Cookies are for this website because right now, it detect the mobile and redirect you. It will also detect ( script ready but disabled ) the language to redirect you to the english version of the website ( currently under construction ).

  • Looking For A Good Book Or Manual for Photoshop Elements 3.0

    Photoshop Elements 3.0 is my very first photo editing program and am looking for a book that will show me how to use all of the features. Comments on the following 3 books would be greatly appreciated.
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 Classroom in a Book
    The Photoshop Elements 3 Book for Digital Photographers
    Photoshop elements 3: The Missing Manual

    I have PE3 so would be glad to pay the shipping if they are of no use to you anymore. Would both PE2 and 3 be necessary or would PE3 be good enough? Should I contact you by email?
    Ken and Colin, your comments are a great help too. Thanks for the responds. I'll look online for The Photoshop Elements 3 Book for Digital Photographers. Wasn't thinking...the only ones at the stores are the more current versions.

  • What is a good book about Lightroom

    Hi ... I am new to Lightroom, and am looking for a good book that covers the program's
    operation and use.  I'd appreciate any recommendations y'all might have.  Thanks!
    /kim
    PS: Sorry if this is an FAQ, but the search function isn't working, and I did not see any
           recommendations in the FAQ thread.

      I think one of the major problems I have with Kelby's books is that he doesn't explain much about what his photos are showing you.  This is a major drawback to his book, as his text ends up being totally misleading because he is assuming things about your setup.
    For example, we get people on here who claim Kelby recommends all images in a single directory.
    We got that enough that I went and actually read that section of his book, to see what he is really doing.
    Turns out he recommends what most of us do here, using a *top-level* directory to hold all of your folders in date orgainzed format.  But, since he is using the default LR date organiztion, it only shows up in his image captures of what he is doing, it doesnt' showup in his text.  Thus people read that to mean all images in a single folder, which causes all sorts of problems as they go forward.
    Because of those types of lazy misunderstandings, I can not and do not recommend his books, even if I thought they were better than Martin's, which I don't. :}
    Cheers!

    Looking for a reading App.
    iPad (iOS 7.1.2) - Kindle.
    I am looking for a good app that can help a college student with reading books that cannot be found on audio book.  I have tried voice over and it works but it's very monotone and it really strings things together. 
    - I'm willing to pay for a good app but I can't seem to sort though the many that are out there. Any suggestions.

    Ah. I'm surprised, but there we go.
    Have a look here ...

    (courtesy of googling 'OSX free multitrack recording software')
    Didn't have time to do more than skim, but 'Ardour' looked promising. Protools is the only one I've used, the full product is one of the industry standards, but the free 'lite' version listed here seems to be limited to 2 in/out as well.
    Referring to your original post, I'd think trying to write or 'script' something would be a nightmare ... synchronisation of streams within something like Applescript would be a major issue, quite apart from anything else.

  • Looking for a good beginner/intermediate Java book

    Hello everyone,
    I am looking for a good beginner/intermediate Java book. I have taken a couple of Java classes (Beginner programming + beginner Java) and have a fairly good understanding of the basics. What I want is a book that is going to build on that as well as give me some good practical problems to work on while I'm doing so. Can anyone recommend one or two good books that would fit the bill?
    Thanks!

    Those three books are all excellent, but are all beginner books. When it comes to intermediate books I think you need to go topic by topic.

  • Im looking for a good note app with pen for taking notes ( in english and german )during business trips. Can anyone help

    I'm looking for a good note app with pen function for taking notes ( in English and German ) during business trips. Can anyone help?

    Really sorry to hear about this, particularly when you're putting your life on the line. But Apple cannot track your iPhone in any way unless you had set up Find My iPhone prior to it being lifted.
    It's possible that AT&T might be able to do something, but it's probably that they cannot track it, or will not without a request from an authorized law enforcement agency, but rather would only disable the device. You'll have to try and find a way to contact AT&T directly and ask if they can do anything to help you; the chances of any AT&T employee in a position to help you spotting this thread it pretty small.
    Good luck, stay safe, and come home soon.

  • Looking for Flash 8 Book

    Hi

    a good book for each program?
    Thanks for the help.

    I am
    only slightly exposed to design patterns, so I would
    like a book that covers the "introductions" and such
    to basic design patterns, as well as more advanced
    design patterns as the book progresses. Most
    importantly, I don't want a book that assumes
    you have already read some other book!I find Holub on Patterns very good,

  • Looking for a good method or APP to have client sign a form in a text box

    I am looking for a good method or App to take an existing form/Document and have a client sign, date etc.  I will want to create the text boxes in a stationary location.  Possibly to also take a picture to add to form.
    Has anyone used any apps to accomplish this?
    Apps I have tried.
    Signnow
    Sign PDF
    Sign Easy
    Sign Easy is about the best except the signatures (text boxes, dates, etc) are free floating and confuse people where to add them on form each time.  Clients have no clue how to use it.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.  I may be over complicating this also, as there could just be a PDF app that I utilize.
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • Looking for a good movie maker app for iPad 1

    Hi Everybody-
      I am looking for a good Photo/Movie maker for the iPad 1. Something that I can add Photos/Movies together and add some songs and have editing capabilities for all of it and possiabily export it as well to my PC to burn to DVD/CD.
    So if anybody can give my recomondations, I'd really appriciate it.There some good ones, but not for the iPad 1. So I wanted to get all of your suggestions so I can narrow down my search. Please let me know if you need further information as well.
    Thanks so much for your time.
    Sincerely- Douglas

    There are no movie maker apps in the App Store that will work well on the iPad 1, it just doesn't have enough RAM. If you read the reviews for the Avid app in the App Store everyone with an iPad 1 is complaining about it. iMovie, as you probably already knew, does not have a version for the iPad 1.
    Wait for the iPad 3 and then set about making movies, the 1 (which I also have) just does not have the horsepower for what you want to do.
