Acknowledgments

Sometimes I really do think it's funny that Bil and Dan have managed to get three books out of what's basically one book of material with “a bunch of words changed.”—Dave Butenhof

We didn't intend to write this book. It just sort of happened. Bil discovered that there were a lot more people interested in Java threads than in POSIX, and Dan made himself a Java Guru for Sun. There weren't any books on Java threads that covered the topic in the way we wanted, so we started by discussing the various issues with the principals. The next thing we knew, we had the makings of a book.

We owe debts of gratitude to all of the above and:

  • The reviewers:

    • Dave Butenhof (Digital Classic)

    • David Holmes (Macquarie University, NSW)

    • Douglas Lea (SUNY, Oswego) ...
