Product Description

Product Description
Using multiple threads, you can create high-performance servers, build extensions for Internet servers, take advantage of multiprocessor systems, build sophisticated objects in OLE and COM, and improve application responsiveness. Writing such software requires more than theory and a reference manual; it requires a comprehensive understanding of how everything fits together and a guide to what works and what doesn't. 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.The associated web site includes the code and sample applications from the book, including code that works with Internet WinSock. 0201442345B04062001

1.0 out of 5 stars Tread carefully with this book, 8 April 2003
As another reader has pointed out, this book was written in 1996 and is overdue an update. I cannot recommend a book which contains sample code which includes a comment to the effect of

"This happens occasionally instead of end-of-file. Not sure why."

This gem appears in the section on using IO completion ports with Windows Sockets and suggests that the author(s) don't have a complete understanding of this subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for novoice, 28 May 1999
By A Customer
This book explains every aspects of a multithreaded application. You don't have to buy a few books before you can grasp the whole concept of multithreading. If you're new to this area, I highly recommend this book as your standard text.

However, this book was written in 1996, you can only find one chapter on MFC. Hope Jim could cover more on MFC & VC++ in the next edition.
