Feed Description: The blog looks at using Java and programming in general as it pops up in life as a Java programmer. It will have links to interesting Java articles and resources. It will also have a lot of SCJP Java 1.5 information and links as I am currently studying
A presentation about threads in Java. It is quite a brief presentation of about 12 pages with 2 slides on each page but it is very clear and easy to read and understand. I would probably recommend reading/downloading this slide if you have already about threads and want something to help you recap the main points in preparation for the SCJP Java 5 exam
I have found some other resources on threads if you are wanting more information.
I have heard from people who have done the exam that there is quite a few thread questions and there are often the more difficult questions on the exam, here is the link to the PDF presentation
The slide covers this topics under the title "What You Need to Know about Threads"
1. What code does a thread execute?
2. What state can a thread be in?
3. How does a thread change its state?
4. How does synchronization work?
Even if you aren't studying for the SCJP 5 Exam this is quite a good introduction to threads because it covers all the basic points and even has a few thread code examples. It's basically a tutorial on threads without the waffle, which is why I thought it was good for some SCJP 5 Thread revision.
