Threading in C#

C# supports parallel execution of code through multithreading. A thread is an independent execution path, able to run simultaneously with other threads.

This book teaches the essential skill of asynchronous programming in C#. It answers critical questions in C# application development, such as: how do I keep my program responding at all times to keep my users happy? how do I make the most of the available hardware? how can I improve performance?

In the modern world, users expect more and more from their applications and devices, and multi-core hardware has the potential to provide it. But it takes carefully crafted code to turn that potential into responsive, scalable applications.

A strong understanding of the role threads play in program execution, how multiple threads can interact in order to make efficient programs, and the pitfalls to beware of when developing multithreaded applications, are all core to a developer's ability to develop effective C# programs.

This book is aimed at practicing c# developers who need to ensure that their applications can utilize the threading capabilities of the .NET Framework.
