Latest - Added new Section on using Virtual Threads with Spring Boot 3.2.0 and JDK 21 EA

Every Java Developer and Architect should know about Virtual Threads which will revolutionize writing Non Blocking code. Your Organization can dramatically reduce costs by using less resources in the Cloud.

There are times when Java Developers have to learn new programming paradigms to remain relevant. We saw this during Functional programming with streams and then again with Reactive programming using Non Blocking IO. Virtual Threads, Structured Concurrency and Continuations introduce important changes to concurrency that we as Java Developers should know. Java Developers and Architects can help their Organization cut costs by using less number of machines to support the same number of users. Be a hero by proposing the use of Virtual Threads in your project.

Project Loom in a new revolutionary initiative in OpenJDK to create a Lightweight implementation of Threads called Virtual Threads. This initiative to rethink Java Threads started in 2018 and will be included in JDK 21 release in September 2023; But in the current release of JDK 20 - a preview feature of Virtual Threads and Structured Concurrency are available for experimentation. Java Virtual Threads promises to revolutionize the way non blocking code is written. Instead of relying on complex Reactive programming, Java developers can now write code sequentially and still achieve the same result in many cases. This is one of the most extensive changes in the Java Platform and it will be a game changer for writing highly scalable applications. Existing code (like Spring Boot code) can also take advantage of this new technology with minor modifications.

WHAT THE LEARNERS ARE SAYING:

5 STARS - This was pleasurable journey. Very informative, understandable and easy to follow. I wish there was such a course about java io/nio, net/sockets on Udemy.

5 STARS - Excellent course .. simplified such a complex topic ! Great work !!

5 STARS - Excellent introduction to virtual threads and the complex concepts are explained with simple diagrams, which makes it easy to visualize the inner workings of virtual threads.

5 STARS - Great course. Nice start with describing all the concurrency concepts. Course includes practical examples and descriptive diagrams to understand better the internal workings of virtual threads. If somebody is interested in this subject - this course is a good choice to understand how threads in java works and virtual threads.

5 STARS - Good and concise explanation. I'm looking forward to see virtual threads in a LTS version or at least as a non-preview feature
