Threads are essential to Java programming, but learning to use them effectively is a nontrivial task.
When a method is declared synchronized, the thread that wants to execute it must acquire a token, which we call a lock (...) Only one thread can grab a lock at a time (...) Upon completion of the method, the lock is automatically released.
Sure, the thread topic is not for beginners, but since every program is going to use threads whether you want it or not, any self-respecting programmer should have a good knowledge of threads.
