eBook Description:

Multithreaded JavaScript: Concurrency Beyond the Event Loop

Traditionally, JavaScript has been a single-threaded language. 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.

• Learn what multithreaded programming is and how you can benefit from it
• Understand the differences between a web worker, a service worker, and a worker thread
• Know when and when not to use threads in an application
• Orchestrate communication between threads by leveraging the Atomics object
• Build high-performance applications using the knowledge you gain from this book
• Benchmark performance to learn if you’ll benefit from multithreading

Multithreaded JavaScript 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.
