Review title: Falls short...
Product review: I give this book 2 stars out of respect for the great work of a dear colleague who's authored it, but the book really should have been provided as a supplement to his earlier (and very excellent book) on this topic.I'm afraid the Java sample code in this book is horrendously bad (lack of adequate comments, unclear and esoteric syntax, inefficient implementations, etc.). There have been many other books on concurrent and distributed computing on Java before and after this book came out, so I suggest the reader buy this book for the theory, and use a more practical book for application. (Beginners in Java programming should also avoid looking at the code, as they will only pick up poor coding habits that will get them into trouble in a professional work environment).
