Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture, Volume 2, Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects

Amazon.com: Books: Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture, Volume 2, Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects: "If your intention is writing a network, concurrent application, the book is both a place to start and the best reference when trying to design your application. It explains each pattern, the context, the problems, the solutions, how to implement, why do we implement that way, examples, variants of the pattern, the advantages and the disadvantages of each pattern, how to combine the patterns together, and more. The book is very very clear and understandable (many books lacks this important feature!). One I have read the book I was able to start and implement a concurrent Server. It is very clear that without that book it was hard to do so! There is no doubt that this book makes the concurrent programming simpler for both, beginners and advanced. "
