These features will go down as being the biggest paradigm shift for the world's most popular programming language.</p><p><i>Multithreaded JavaScript</i> 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.</p><ul><li>Learn what multithreaded programming is and how you can benefit from it</li><li>Understand the differences between a web worker, a service worker, and a worker thread</li><li>Know when and when not to use threads in an application</li><li>Orchestrate communication between threads by leveraging the Atomics object</li><li>Build high-performance applications using the knowledge you gain from this book</li><li>Benchmark performance to learn if you'll benefit from multithreading</li></ul><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Thomas Hunter II has contributed to dozens of enterprise Node.js services and has worked for a company dedicated to securing Node.js.
