This book contains Java Multi-threading interview questions that an interviewer asks. Concurrency is an advanced topic for Java technical interview. This book is a compilation of Java Concurrency interview questions after attending dozens of technical interviews in top-notch companies like- Facebook, Google, Ebay, Amazon etc.
Each question is accompanied with an answer because you want to save your time while preparing for an interview.
The difficulty rating on these Questions varies from a Junior level programmer to Architect level.
Once you go through them in the first pass, mark the questions that you could not answer by yourself. Then, in second pass go through only the difficult questions.
After going through this book 2-3 times, you will be very well prepared to face a technical interview on Java Multi-threading for an experienced programmer.
