Abstract
The previous four chapters focused on Java’s low-level support for threads. This chapter switches that focus to Java’s high-level thread support, which is known as the concurrency utilities. Think of the concurrency utilities as being analogous to writing applications in a high-level language and its low-level thread support as being analogous to writing applications in assembly language. After briefly introducing you to these utilities, I take you on a tour of executors. The next three chapters will cover other subsets of the various concurrency utilities.
