Mastering Virtual Threads in Java (v1.1)

Learn how virtual threads work in Java, including Structured Concurrency, Scoped Values, and how to find and diagnose issues such as deadlocks.

This advanced course dives deep into the world of Virtual Threads introduced in Project Loom, part of Java's modern concurrency paradigm. Designed for experienced Java developers, it explores lightweight threading models for scalable, concurrent programming. Participants will learn to implement virtual threads for optimized resource utilization, replace legacy constructs like ThreadLocal with Scoped Values, and leverage Structured Concurrency for clear, maintainable code.

Through hands-on exercises, real-world use cases, and best practices, this course emphasizes problem-solving and debugging techniques while navigating challenges like thread pinning and deadlocks. Master the tools and techniques necessary to harness the full potential of Virtual Threads, from understanding JVM-level intricacies to refactoring legacy codebases.

Frequently Asked Questions


How do I get a EU Reverse Charged VAT invoice?
Please contact us and tell us which course(s) you would like to purchase. Please include your company name, address and EU VAT number.

May we use the course for running in-house courses?
You may, as long as each of the students in the class has a valid license for that course. For example, some companies run lunch time Design Patterns study groups using our material. This is an effective way to learn. Please contact us for bulk licensing.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 14 days to tell us what you are unhappy about, and we will give you a full refund and deregister you from the course.
