Programmers can refer to Creating Components: Object Oriented, Concurrent, and Distributed Computing in Java to better understand how concurrency and component reuse affect program design, deployment, performance, and quality. This text introduces component and concurrent programming to students and programmers familiar with Java and procedural and GUI programming. It explains how to apply concurrency to Java components, while exploring distributed program implementation, Java threads, objects, interfaces, exceptions, component reuse, and system design and management. This valuable resource reveals how programmers and software engineers can apply components and concurrency to solve complex problems and improve program performance and quality.
