false 5989785 1 The increasing popularity and availability of multicore processors is creating a whole new set of challenges--although you can enjoy true concurrency, you're now faced with higher contention and synchronization issues. Deploying an existing application on a multicore processor may bring out previously hidden concurrency issues. Java's multi-threading facility by itself isn't enough---it's a very low level abstraction. Instead, you need a paradigm that provides a higher level of abstraction to deal with concurrency. It's time to embrace Functional Programming.<br /> <br /> Scala is a hybrid Object-Oriented/Functional Programming language on the JVM. Using Scala, you can create traditional imperative programs, intermix them with Java code, and at the same time take advantage of higher levels of abstraction. You can use features that lead to concise, highly expressive code that remove the pain of dealing with concurrency.<br /> <br /> <i>Programming Scala</i> will show you the fundamentals of functional programming using Scala. Very quickly, you'll learn how this statically typed language can give you dynamic capabilities to create concise, scalable, highly capable concurrent code.<br /> <br /> Pragmatic programmers always use the right tool for the job. For concurrent programming on the Java VM, Scala is the tool, and <i>Programming Scala</i> by award-winning author Venkat Subramaniam is your guide. 6163823 15 3 2009 Programming Scala: Tackle Multi-Core Complexity on the Java Virtual Machine total:3|5:0|4:0|3:1|2:1|1:0| 3 8 17 1 2 0 false false Fri Oct 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 06:18:58 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 08:38:01 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sun Nov 22 11:05:34 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 11:05:34 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 29 21:16:39 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 21:16:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 27 21:15:04 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 21:15:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 16 22:51:18 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 22:51:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 14 18:45:16 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 18:45:16 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 14 00:38:13 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 00:38:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 01 12:00:30 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 12:00:30 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Oct 27 20:09:15 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 18:31:30 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 18:31:36 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 07 21:52:01 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 14:32:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 02 19:30:49 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 11:22:19 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Sep 19 22:05:50 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 12:36:07 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 22:05:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 13 17:57:56 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 17:58:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 07 14:22:53 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 14:22:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed May 27 15:35:01 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 15:35:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jan 14 08:12:44 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 14 08:13:07 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Dec 29 12:24:32 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 12:24:37 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=5989785
