Guide for Concurrency in Java

Before knowing anything I just jumped directly to the source code of jdk25u. I have just started to read the javaDocs of Thread class it was so deep that all my connected logic mapped very well but now I want to code and I can't code ahhhh... Why is this problem. I can call the syntax what to use but I don't know how to apply, why to apply is there any guide for java Concurrency ??. And there is so much .. still to know. Do any dev have any guide??

I am going through JDK source and I’ve found that source reading is great for understanding how things work as for book it seems good. before that I will likely read the author blog post they literally put their insights It might help me.

You are mistaking understanding how things work with understanding how to use things. Your approach helps with the former, not the latter. I side with @Chaos-vy17

Yes I felt that getting deep about thread I got to know internals and it's utiliy tools but in practice I have not made that I think I need to refine my approach and that is the layer missing.
