Tread carefully with this book - As another reader has pointed out, this book was written in 1996 and is overdue an update. I cannot recommend a book which contains sample code which includes a comment to the effect ofThis happens occasionally instead of end-of-file. Not sure why.This gem appears in the section on using IO completion ports with Windows Sockets and suggests that the author(s) don t have a complete understanding of this subject.
Excellent for novoice - This book explains every aspects of a multithreaded application. You don t have to buy a few books before you can grasp the whole concept of multithreading. If you re new to this area, I highly recommend this book as your standard text.However, this book was written in 1996, you can only find one chapter on MFC. Hope Jim could cover more on MFC & VC++ in the next edition.
Very Useful for Multithreaded Applications - This is a book I always recommend when programmers delve into the world of threads. Clear and consise.
The best I ve read so far. - I ve been reading quite a few books on the subject, and this one contains a lot of jems. Chapters on C++, MFC and GUI are very useful.
Excellent. - This is an excellent book on NT threads.
