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.

That wasn't actually a troll. I'd be more than willing to expand my argument if anyone's curious about some part of it.
There's a lot of religion in multithreading, and a lot of people invest a lot of time in strategies that are just wrong-headed, and since programming, being ``engineering'' rather than science, is ego-driven, a lot of people refuse to admit they've been wrong for years and will just keep pushing broken models. It's depressing.
