Introduction to C# threading
Are you a C# developer and want to take your multithreading skills to the next level? Are you working on a critical section of code and need to make sure your multithreaded code is rock-solid in production? Or are you preparing for a C# exam?
Then this is the course for you! The tips and tricks in this course will give you an excellent foundation to start writing your very own bulletproof multithreaded code.
The course covers threads, starting and aborting threads, locking threads, deadlocks, synchronizing threads, the AutoResetEvent and friends, and the thread barrier class. All you need to know to write your own robust multithreaded code that will just keep running and never fail on you in production.
Here’s What You’ll Get
Training Details
This course contains a series of short lectures that cover many fundamental multithreading topics. I’ll show you all the problems you can expect in asynchronous code, like race conditions, deadlocks, livelocks and synchronisation issues. I’ll teach you quick and easy strategies to resolve these problems.
You will learn to write multithreaded code, how to safely start and abort a thread, and how to exchange data between two or more threads. I’ll explain the main reasons why multithreaded code often crashes, and what you can do about it. We’ll also look at resolving race conditions, using the AutoResetEvent and ManualResetEvent in code… and much more!
By the end of this course you will be able to write robust multithreaded C# code that can take a beating.

Sneak Preview
In this complimentary training lecture, I will teach you how to synchronize two threads by using the special AutoResetEvent class in C#. This class allows two threads to safely exchange data without risking a race condition or a deadlock.

“I wish I had started sooner, because this is a really good course. Mark takes the time to explain difficult concepts in a way that is easy to digest. For example, I loved his explanation of the AutoResetEvent class. I never really understood it that well until now.”
