This is, of course, a complete misstatement of both Andrew's and my comments.

It isn't.

Not everyone (including me) share that.

But you are completely missing the point: there is a big difference in
unsolicited posts about site and referring to a site in a relevant
thread.

Indeed.

In fact, not only do I support the original controversial recommendation for the book, /Java Concurrency in Practice/ by Brian Goetz, et al., I assert that it is a necessary part of every Java programmer's library and that we should all spend our own money, if necessary, to buy it. I did.

The originally proffered link to that book via a co-author, the highly regarded Doug Lea,
<http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/>
I don't have in front of me, but Prof. Lea in turn links to
<http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0321349601>
and, I'm sure, many other vendors carry it.

The original link was provided in response to someone asking about multithreaded Java programming.

It is also, I think, a useful book for multithreaded programming generally, not just in Java, despite its focus on Java idioms. C# has somewhat similar idioms, and understanding concurrency is vital to most platforms these days.
