Monitor
Explore how Ruby implements monitors to provide mutual exclusion and condition variables for thread synchronization. Understand using Monitor methods like synchronize, enter, and exit to safely manage critical sections and thread coordination. This lesson helps you write concurrent Ruby code with monitors, improving control over threads and exceptions.
