Nearly all online forum posts, books, online documentation, and libraries refer to the language as single threaded. Thanks to recent advancements in the language--such as the Atomics and SharedArrayBuffers objects and Web Workers in the browser--JavaScript is now a multi-threaded language. These features will go down as being the biggest paradigm shift for the world's most popular programming language. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eMultithreaded JavaScript\u003c\/i\u003e explores the various features that JavaScript runtimes have at their disposal for implementing multithreaded programming, providing both practical real-world examples, as well as reference material. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn what multithreaded programming is and how you can benefit from it \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand the differences between a web worker, a service worker, and a worker thread \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnow when and when not to use threads in an application \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrchestrate communication between threads by leveraging the Atomics object \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild high-performance applications using the knowledge you gain from this book \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBenchmark performance to learn if you'll benefit from multithreading \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThomas Hunter II has contributed to dozens of enterprise Node.js services and has worked for a company dedicated to securing Node.js.
