Thank you so much for taking this course. I hope you will learn at least as much as I did preparing it. When I started, I had no idea just how complex the ArrayBlockingQueue had become over the years. It doubled in size since Java 1.5. We will see so many interesting constructs, from WeakReference to split for-loops to alternatives to signalAll().

You can find the exact branch of code that we are looking at in this course on github.com/kabutz/jdk/tree/teardown
