Multithreading Applications in Win32: The Complete Guide to Threads

Multithreading Applications in Win32: The Complete Guide to Threads, 9780201442342 (0201442345), Addison Wesley, 1996

Multithreading is supported under Windows NT and Windows 95 and later through the Win32 API, but coverage of this important topic has been sporadic and incomplete until now. In Multithreading Applications in Win32, with just enough theory and lots of sample code, Jim Beveridge and Bob Wiener show developers when, where, and how to use multithreading. Included in the book are:

Internet development examples, including ISAPI and WinSock.
Hands-on coverage of how to use threads and overlapped I/O for server development.
How to use the C run-time library and MFC in a multithreaded environment.
Examples in C and C++.
Comparisons to UNIX for developers transitioning from UNIX to Win32.
