Harker Systems is proud to announce a two-day seminar on Multithreaded
Programming.  The seminar is taught by Bil Lewis, a frequent contributor
to the newsgroup comp.programming.threads and co-author of the book
"Threads Primer". The class is intended for the experienced C programmer
or technical manager.  At completion, the attendee will have the background
to begin writing threaded code.

Locations and Dates

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

A technical overview of the different implimentations of threads will be
presented, focusing on POSIX threads and Solaris (UNIX International)
threads.  NT threads, and OS/2 threads will also be presented.  Specific
vendor's APIs will be described, as well as programming tools and libraries
available.  Issues with using these tools will be discussed.

The actual code examples will be in POSIX Pthreads, with reference to how the
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 Multi-Threading to
specific projects, and have the background to begin writing threaded code.

Topics to be covered:
	Scheduling
	Synchronization
	Thread Specific Data
	The Treatment of Signals
	Operating System Interactions
	Use of Non-Threaded Libraries
	Complex Synchronization Issues
	Performance Considerations
	Debugging and Analysis Tools
