Event Description
You can't get away from threading anymore. It's built into .NET and if you want to take advantage of multiple cores...you'll need to thread-enable your applications. But threading isn't easy. This session serves as an introduction to help you understand what is really happening in multithreaded applications and to help you understand some common threading problems. We will discuss what is going on at the OS level, some important .NET concepts, decomposition, and ways to reduce your risk.
