Bil Lewis, co-author of the "Threads Primer," will be teaching an intensive,
two-day class on multithreaded programming in San Jose, California during
the week of 16-20 December 1996*.


				THE SEMINAR

This Multithreading Seminar gives the programmer or technical manager a
solid, broad understanding of threads -- what they are, how they work, why
they are useful, and the programming issues surrounding their use. It is
designed with the experienced C programmer in mind. Anyone working with any
of the multithreading libraries will find a full explanation of the
foundations in this course, and should have little trouble when dealing with
the different APIs.

The actual code examples will be in POSIX Pthreads, with detailed
comparisions to how the UNIX International (aka "Solaris Threads"), OS/2 and
Windows NT APIs are used. At the end of this seminar, the skillful
programmer will be able to evaluate the applicability of MT to specific
projects, and have the background to begin writing threaded code.

This seminar covers virtually all aspects of writing MT programs, including
hardware considerations, the status of MT for the various OS vendors,
detailed analylses of classic program designs, performance results drawn
from shipping programs, and common misconceptions and typical programming
mistakes.  The seminar is very demanding of the student, as it covers a
great deal of material, including detailed analyses of sophisticated
programs.  In addition to simply describing the operation of the libraries,
the motivations for design choices and recommendations for means of dealing
with the various issues are discussed.


				THE TEACHER

Bil Lewis, with over 18 years of experience in the field, has spent the past
two years at Sun working with multithreading as it pertains to application
development. He has worked very closely with both internal engineering and
external customers, hence has a deep knowledge of threading issues and
actual practices.  He has taught this course to dozens of internal Sun
programmers and hundreds of others in the US, India, and Europe.

Bil is co-author of the Threads Primer, the first book on the topic of
multithreading as it pertains to UNIX, NT, and OS/2. He also wrote the GNU
Emacs Lisp Manual. He created and maintains much of the information on the
threads page, established the threads newsgroup (comp.programming.threads),
writes articles, and is a regular speaker on the topic in many forums.
