Threading

Name: Anonymous 2009-08-26 3:42

I'm starting to learn about concurrency programming/threading and was wondering about some good resources to start this journey. Concurrency requires a different method of thinking about problems than standard serial code, I'm aware.

So far, I've picked up The Art of Concurrency from O'Reilly and I've been Googling a little (but to not much avail, it seems that threading isn't much of a hobby among programmers and I can see why).

Applications of threading that I would be interested in would be things like timer threading for network timeouts and keeping all the code aware of this happening, design patterns, algorithms, etc. Thank you in advance.

Understanding this is an imperative building block, but not the whole picture.
You're right, you just recited some inaccurate nonsense that doesn't really help.

If you knew anything about threading, you would know that it's a lot more complicated than "trivial."
I use threading effortlessly whenever it's helpful to the problem.  It's fucking trivial.  You won't fail at threads, you'll fail at everything else and then blame it on threads.  Because you don't understand the goddamn system.
