About the Author

Aaron Michael Cohen started programming computers as a hobby in 1977, on an RCA 1802 single board microcomputer. While attending medical school in the early '80s, he explored numerous computer platforms (in his spare time!) including the Atari 800, the Macintosh, and the IBM PC. Realizing his greatest talents lay in computer programming, he decided to leave medicine and pursue a career in software development. His first jobs involved computer based medical imaging, which lead to work on high-quality image and video compression. Currently, Aaron is employed at Intel Corporation developing video teleconferencing systems in C and C++ on Windows 95 and NT. He has an undergraduate background in engineering and holds an M.D. from the University of Michigan.

Mike Woodring has been programming retail Windows applications, DLLs, and device drivers on Intel architecture platforms since the release of Windows 3.0. As a systems software engineer at Intel, he developed realtime ISDN telecommunications software in C++ for telephony, Internet, and desktop video conferencing products. Currently, he works as an independent consultant and teaches courses on Win32 programming. Mike holds a bachelor's degree in computer science from Montana State University.

This one is a Keeper
By Jaideep Baphna on March 16, 2000
Format: Paperback
Here's what I liked about the book:
(1) It provides simple explanation of central concepts and issues around multithreaded programming. This knowledge is platform independent.
(2) Provides clear explanation of Win32 specific API and Kernel Objects, knowledge that is necessary to do Multithreaded Programming on most Microsoft Platforms.
(3) Builds a simple C++ based OO Wrapper class Library for Multithreaded programming that elegantly conceals Win32 APIs idiosyncrasies.
(4) Also builds additional higher Level OO Abstractions (like Monitors) that Win32 does not need to support directly but Programmers need often.
(5) Great illustrations of Multithreading problems, solutions and Patterns through the trailing part of the book.
(6) Code and Diagrams abound.

Very useful class libraries included in this book...
By A Customer on May 3, 1999
Format: Paperback
This is one of the best books I've ever read. Before reading this book, I didn't have experience of multithreaded programming in Windows NT. The class libraries inside give me a good paradigm on how to write safe multithreading codes, and help me to finish the software development at my job as soon as possible. I honestly appreciate that the authors made their efforts to write this excellent book.

A must have for your library
By A Customer on April 4, 1999
Format: Paperback
One of the best book on programming I have ever read. The book expands your brain to think in parallel. The included class libraries (C++) are excellent building blocks and I use them all the time in my own projects.
The debugging and exception advice is spot on.
Although the book never mentions WinSock-2 anywhere, it gives you a full understanding of kernel event objects necessary to impliment event-based socket code.... Should you feel the need to as I did.
Beginners to C++, should learn C++ first before buying this book.

Covers threads and 50 miles around it
By techno on February 12, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I was a little hesitant to buy this book because it was printed way back but let me know tell you I am glad I got it. The multithreading programming issues and concern are exactly the same as when it was invented so why would the age of this book matter? This book uses C++ but not STL. I like this because it shows you how to write your classes rather than just use them. It illustrates this with the class library it provides with which itself is a great resource. This book teaches you how you live in multithreading world, how you design multithreaded applications.

Not a good book for the multithreading novice.
By Amazon Customer on May 10, 1998
Format: Paperback
This is the first O'Reilly book I've ever read that I cannot wholeheartedly recommend.
The introduction to the book states the it is aimed at the novice. However, the examples in the book contain several novice mistakes. The book also glosses over a few point that an experienced MT programmer would understand, but would be baffling to a novice. I also found a few Win32 mistakes such as their handling of redirection of standard in, out, and error.
If you know MT and Win32, it's probably a good book. If you don't keep looking.

Ok book... but wrapper class is more of a distraction
By A Customer on September 6, 2000
Format: Paperback
The first five chapters are above average. I considered the wrapper class a distraction from the main topic and would have preferred more examples. This book is definately not for the novice and would be better for the experienced MT programmer whose looking for a quick refresher. If you are looking for a beginner's MT book keep looking as this one is not for you.

The only book you need for multithreading on windows.
By Andrés Peiro Molina on October 28, 1999
Format: Paperback
Excellent book on multithreading. I like the way the thread library was built into the learning process. Maybe it was not appropriate but I would have liked to see something on RPC threads also. Another O'Reilly kudo.
