You will learn about the basics of threads, the differences between multi-threading and multi-processing, and the advantages and challenges of multi-threaded programming. Additionally, you will explore how to create threads using the Thread class and Runnable interface.

Creating and Managing Threads

This module focuses on the practical aspects of creating and managing threads in Java. You will learn the steps to create threads using the Thread class and Runnable interface, and how to start, stop, and join threads. Additionally, you will explore thread priorities, thread scheduling, and the usage of the join and yield methods.

Thread Synchronization and Communication

In this module, you will delve into thread synchronization and communication to ensure thread safety. You will learn about concurrency issues and race conditions, strategies for thread safety, and techniques such as thread confinement and locking. Additionally, you will explore the usage of the synchronized and volatile keywords to manage thread synchronization.

Advanced Topics in Multi-Threading

This module covers advanced topics in multi-threading, including techniques for inter-thread communication, thread signaling with wait() and notify(), and the usage of atomic objects and adder types. You will also learn about synchronized and concurrent collections and how to choose the right collection type for your application.
