I started reading some stuff about threading recently. There are two types of threading I might consider learning they are P threading and win32 thread. If I new how to generate timed interrupts I might forget about threading all together. By the way there should be a section for non language specific topics like: threading, object oriented programming functional programming etc….

Here are some good links:
Example Starting a thread in a Pthread program

Guide to DECthreads

Has some links to some threading libraries

Free open source P thread library for win32

Some examples of win32 threading

Hmmm….This thread is not taking off yet. I’ll start? Has anyone ever done threading before? I have done a little bit in Java for two of my school courses but it was two or three years ago so I forgot most of it. I didn’t like the Java threading model because there was no concept of priority, no rules for which orders the threads get executed in and their was no built in way to interrupt the threads. That is not to say you couldn’t interrupt the threads if you new some obscure system commands. Of course you don’t need to use the built-in threading libraries of a language. You can use an external library. The two I might learn are windows 32 threads and p threads. Anyone else have any thoughts, stories etc, on threading?

I am not double posting I am adding to the discussion. Why should I post everything on the same post. That would lead to incredibly long posts that no one would want to read. I personally would rather if people have a new thought to add to a discussion for them to put it in a new post that way I could see if anything has been added to the topics I am interested by checking the new messages. If you really hate to see people constantly adding new stuff to a thread when you check the new messages maybe the message board should be upgraded so people can filter out topics they are not interested in when they check the new messages

well. to the mods here at trap17 (who are all anal about spam), double posting might be seen as a way to increase your post count. personally, I don't care and I would rather see the mods lighten up on "spam".

I really don’t care anymore about the post count. I am sure I am well above the number of posts I need for the introductory package which I am sure is a lot more then I need anyway. I also found an alternative place where I can upload files with a .wmz extension. When I get time I will get around to requesting the package again just so I can compare and see which web service I like better. I am enjoying the conversations here.

P.S. why can’t you give someone a plus and minus on the same day?

You can only rate a person once a day no matter "+" or "-"
