Download or read book Concurrent Programming on Windows written by Joe Duffy and published by Addison-Wesley Professional. This book was released on 2009 with total page 958 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical book includes a tutorial of the entire set of Windows and .NET APIs required to write concurrent programs. Because so much of the threading and synchronization features of the platform are Windows-general, the author, Joe Duffy, focuses first on the general behavior and then on the API details of native and managed code. Interspersed among the tutorial are many difficult-to-discover, useful insights, and internal details about how things work.
