New "Level 200" Threading and Synchronization Article

Microsoft.Net Technology Blog - Vikas Goyal - Master Managed Threading and Synchronization Techniques

"Check out my latest article on Devx.com.

It starts from the basics of Threading & Thread Management, and dives deep into various synchronization
techniques available in .NET framework which includes inter-thread and inter-process synchronization.

The synchronization techniques discussed are:
 Locks / Monitors
 Mutex
 Interlocked
 Read-Writer Locks
 Semaphores
 EventWaitHandle" [Post leached in full]

Another great article by Vikas Goyal. 13 printed pages, with simple, yet effective, examples and code snips throughout.

We're living in a brave new multi-core world and until higher level help is in place (like the Task Parallel Library, CCR, PLinq, etc), we need to start getting comfortable with threading, locking and such.
