Last year, I had the great privilege of attending “Effective Concurrency” by Herb Sutter; I say great because it was an eye opener for me.
Now, you all know that I’m a Mac developer, so, seeing that I was the only guy in the room with a MacBookPro, I got a humorous look from Herb. I turned my laptop around to show him that I was running Windows 7 under Boot Camp, to which he asked, “How’s that working for ya?”.
“So far, so good”, I said.
I didn’t know what I would expect from the class, particularly since I have done a lot of threaded programming.
Boy. I. Was. Surprised.
He was an excellent teacher and an easy person to talk to.
If you have the chance to take the “Effective Concurrency” course by Herb Sutter, I would highly recommend it.
So a year after attending that class, my co-worker finds a video that Herb gave on C++ AMP.
Again, Herb is busy talking about concurrent programming.
