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.

I invite you to come up with a single thing multithreading can do multiprocessing cannot.

Most often I see people trying to force threading where it doesn't belong in the first place, like for asynchronous GUIs (spoiler: interrupts have been around for longer than threads).
