- Hello, I'm student interested in learning about multitasking
- programming.
-
- Can somebody point me to some good URLs out there? Maybe some books?
- What is the best enviroment to do it? I have a few at my disposal:
- Windows 3.1, Windows NT, Unix and Linux (sorry, no OS/2). While you
- are at it, I have a few questions....
-
- o is there any difference in threads, processes and forks?
- o What does it mean to be pre-emptive?
- o How does programs like webbrowsers, word processors,
- spreadsheets benefit from multitasking?
-
- Thanks.
