I want to master concurrent programming.
I heard that there are good books for concurrent programming in java by Doug Lea

• Concurrent Programming in Java™: Design Principles and Pattern (2nd Edition)
• Java Concurrency in Practice

Which book should I read first ? Are there other books. If anyone can tell me also guide me how practice this topic.

Answer 1

Java Concurrency in Practice is the more recent of the two, so I recommend that. It covers lots of stuff, including the new concurrency utilities, which the other doesn't. However, CPiJ also contains stuff which is still relevant and is not repeated in JCiP, so you may want to check that out later too.
