- Harker Systems is proud to announce a two-day seminar on Multithreaded
- Programming. The seminar is taught by Bil Lewis, a frequent contributor
- to the newsgroup comp.programming.threads and co-author of the book
- "Threads Primer". The class is intended for the experienced C programmer
- or technical manager. At completion, the attendee will have the background
- to begin writing threaded code.

- This course gives the programmer or technical manager a solid, basic
- understanding of threads; what they are, how they work, why they are useful,
- and some of the programming issues surrounding their use. It is designed with
- the experienced C programmer in mind. Anyone working with any of the MT
- libraries will find a full explaination of the foundations of Multi-Threading
- in this course, and should have little trouble when programming with the
- different APIs.
-
- A technical overview of the different implimentations of threads will be
- presented, focusing on POSIX threads and Solaris (UNIX International)
- threads. NT threads, and OS/2 threads will also be presented. Specific
- vendor's APIs will be described, as well as programming tools and libraries
- available. Issues with using these tools will be discussed.
-
- The actual code examples will be in POSIX Pthreads, with reference to how the
- OS/2 and Windows NT APIs are used. At the end of this seminar, the skillful
- programmer will be able to evaluate the applicability of Multi-Threading to
- specific projects, and have the background to begin writing threaded code.
-
- Topics to be covered:
- Scheduling
- Synchronization
- Thread Specific Data
- The Treatment of Signals
- Operating System Interactions
- Use of Non-Threaded Libraries
