 Good lecturer March 22, 2008
I remember well my lectures at Imperial College with Jeff Magee. He was one of only a few that I actually paid any attention to at all.
I bought the book - but like every book I bought at university I only read them a little.
My 5 stars are mainly given as he was a good lecturer and used many of his java examples in lectures - therefore he deserves the boost to his rating!
 good book lacks in code examples November 28, 2003

I bought this book as a textbook for a concurrency module in the university. It explains the theory very well but when it comes to the coding it doesn't explain anything. There is an accompanying cdrom with this book that has every java program used in the book. There is not a single comment in any of the programs. As a programmer I have to say that this is really unacceptable.
Excellent illustration of an otherwise complex subject March 19, 2002

I think that Kramer/Magee's book is by far the best available textbook for anyone designing software that includes concurrent processes. Three years after leaving university (Jeff Kramer, who is now the head of the computer science faculty at Imperial College, London, was my teacher for concurrent programming), I still find this book useful.
Excellent practical introduction to concurrency May 19, 2001

The authors have taken a very practical, visual approach to the subject-and it works well. The various features are explained fully in the text and are graphically illustrated as applets on the supplied disc. This book is a good 'read' and thought has gone into keeping the reader interested in this tricky subject. It has been a welcome ally to help me deal with the set book for the OU course M301. This book is money well spent.
OK for beginners... May 18, 2001

I bought this bought to aid my studies for a concurrency course at university. The book is well written and does explain things very well, although it did not go into enough depth that I needed for the course. It missed out some of the fundamental issues of concurrency, such as Dekker's Algorithm. This book is fine for beginners, or indeed people who want to program concurrently in Java, without much background knowledge. To be honest I was a bit disappointed.
