英语翻译The CD-ROM that has traditionally been packaged as part

英语翻译The CD-ROM that has traditionally been packaged as part of this book is not part of this edition.The essential part of that CD,the Thinking in C multimedia seminar (created for MindView by Chuck Allison),is now available as a downloadable Flash presentation.The goal of that seminar is to prepare those who are not familiar enough with C syntax to understand the material presented in this book.Although two of the chapters in this book give decent introductory syntax coverage,they may not be enough for people without an adequate background,and Thinking in C is intended to help those people get to the necessary level.The Concurrency chapter (formerly called “Multithreading”) has been completely rewritten to match the major changes in the Java SE5 concurrency libraries,but it still gives you a basic foundation in the core ideas of concurrency.Without that core,it’s hard to understand more complex issues of threading.I spent many months working on this,immersed in that netherworld called “concurrency,” and in the end the chapter is something that not only provides a basic foundation but also ventures into more advanced territory.There is a new chapter on every significant new Java SE5 language feature,and the other new features have been woven into modifications made to the existing material.Because of my continuing study of design patterns,more patterns have been introduced throughout the book as well.
