Synopsis

Pro Multithreaded Programming with Traditional Techniques

Unlock the core power of multithreaded programming in C#—using proven, traditional techniques built on the System.Threading namespace.

This advanced book is designed for professional developers who seek to master concurrency. It focuses exclusively on traditional thread-based programming using foundational constructs such as Thread, Monitor, Mutex, Semaphore, Interlocked, and other synchronization primitives provided by .NET.

Whether you're working on performance-critical systems, real-time applications, or legacy codebases where modern abstractions are impractical, this book provides the practical tools and deep knowledge needed to write safe, efficient, and maintainable multithreaded applications.

What You'll Learn
  • The architecture of threads in .NET and how OS threads relate to managed threads

  • Creating and managing threads using Thread and ThreadStart

  • Managing thread lifecycle, synchronization, and safe shared access

  • Leveraging synchronization primitives like Mutex, SemaphoreSlim, AutoResetEvent, and ReaderWriterLockSlim

  • Writing lock-free and non-blocking algorithms using Interlocked and volatile

  • Debugging and profiling multithreaded code, detecting deadlocks, race conditions, and more

  • Optimizing performance through thread reuse, context-switch reduction, CPU affinity, and cache locality

Key Features
  • Formal and structured explanations, ideal for advanced and professional developers

  • Real-world inspired examples and technical demonstrations

  • Focused entirely on System.Threading—no use of TPL or async/await

  • Suitable for high-performance applications, and deep concurrency learning

Master the principles of traditional multithreaded programming and build faster, safer, and more predictable software.
