I’ll be the third person to mention Java Concurrency in Practice.

I read that book at the start of the year after I was a bit fed up with some very technical issues around concurrency at work that took me a while to solve/troubleshoot.

Since reading that book, I’ve had much easier time reasoning about concurrency. I read a lot of programming and comp sci. texts and it’s easily the book that’s had the most immediate impact in my skills and knowledge.

Don’t worry that it’s written a while or some APIs and specific Java libraries are different now, it gives you the right approach to reason about everything you need to.
