Good Books On Programming With Threads?

Posted by timothy on from the alternative-is-to-program-naked dept.

uneek writes "I have been programming for several years now in a variety of languages, most recently C#, Java, and Python. I have never had to use threads for a solution in the past. Recently I have been incorporating them more in my solutions for clients. I understand the theory behind them. However I am looking for a good book on programming threads from an applied point of view. I am looking for one or more texts that provide thorough coverage and provide meaningful exercises. Anyone have any ideas?"

    Working with threads! Get it! BA-ZING! Sorry. I'm not a programmer. Clearly.

    if you're doing "enterprise" development it's best to avoid using them and let the application server do its black magic for you

    Finally, confirmation!!!! I always suspected all those acronyms to be some form of arcane hex.

    I can suggest three books... But you've got to be able to read them all at the same time ;-)
