  Developers SIG April Meeting 
  
  Multithreaded Presentation Manager Programming   

  Skilled OS/2 developer and author William Law will take the stage 
  April 10th to give a general introduction on how to write 
  multi-threaded PM programs. He will give a brief discussion on the 
  concept of threads and why multi-threaded PM apps are necessary.  
  Then he will go through the mechanics of starting threads in C and 
  C++ (using the IThread class of IBM's UI Library).  Then Bill will 
  expand on implementation techniques in a set of further examples 
  (the basics have simpler examples showing how multi-threaded apps 
  work better).  The examples demonstrate such things as using an 
  object window to do thread communication. He also has an event 
  semaphore class to show thread synchronization.   

  Bill will also explore some advanced topics: Using "queue messages" to 
  communicate rather than window messages (eliminates need for an 
  object window) and, how to move the loading of .dlls into a separate 
  thread at program start up so that users see a quick "Loading" 
  message and lets them switch focus to another application while PM 
  might otherwise be blocked during that time.   
  
  Bill Law   

  Bill Law graduated from the University of Michigan in 1980. He has 
  been developing software for OS/2 since 1987 and has been designing 
  and implementing object-oriented C++ class libraries for the past five 
  years.  He now works for Taligent, Inc. in Cupertino, California.   

  Bill Law is one of the authors of the excellent book, "OS/2 C++ Class 
  Library, Power GUI Programming using C Set++," published by Van 
  Nostrand Reinhold.  This book is highly recommend for developers 
  using the powerful user interface class library included with the IBM C 
  Set++ compiler.     

  Directions 

  Take the Shoreline Boulevard North exit off US-101. About a block 
  before Charleston, turn left on Plymouth, and then right on Joaquin. 
  1055 Joaquin is on the right.  There is plenty of free parking.  We 
  meet in the conference room on the second floor.  Please be prompt 
  as you can only enter the building between 6:45 and 7:30.
