Just awesome book, really clearly laid out: #/ Example code #/ How it works. If only all coding books were this clear and simple. A complex subject, made into a doddle. If you want to know about C# Multithreading, just buy it.

when I bought this book, I taught that I will find a lot of advices and good practices, but it's full of examples that are far from real life scenarios and the author only explains how the program works, not why he written the program in that manner, how to do it and what not to do...

I bought this book hoping to gain a deeper understanding of multi-threading in C# and some common patterns used. The book was so basic that with my limited knowledge it wasn't helpful at all. I would recommend a more comprehensive book if you're looking to further your multi-threading skills.

Mat S Dec 27, 2017

Not an easy read whatsoever, but I guess it does cover the basics and may be a decent source of reference for multithreaded patterns. I for one have decided to look for other resources as a learner as it didn't help me a whole lot.
