- Threads and Multi-Threaded Programming
-
- -- at its *NEW* location --
-
- Bil Lewis, co-author of the new book "Threads Primer", will tell us
- about the role and status of using threads to write software.
-
- Threads are now a "hot" item for database engines, and for many
- applications that have heavy-duty processing and/or heavy/duty I/O.
- Software professionals need to know about the strength, nature, and
- platform variations of threads packages. If you wonder about desirable
- applications for threads, are in a how-to-start mode, or are curious
- about portability issues, this session will give you a firm grounding
- and understanding of threads and multi-threaded applications.
