Embedded.com - References vs. Pointers
In C++, references provide many of the same capabilities as pointers. Although most C++ programmers seem to develop some intuition about when to use references instead of pointers, and vice versa, they still encounter situations where the choice isn't so clear. If you'd like to develop a reasonably consistent philosophy about using references, it really helps to know exactly how references differ from pointers. Those differences are my subject this month.

C++ Language Tutorial
Multi threaded programming is becoming ever more popular. This section presents a design for a C++ class that will encapsulate the threading mechanism. Certain aspects of thread programming, like mutexes and semaphores are not discussed here. Also, operating system calls to manipulate threads are shown in a generic form. Brief Introduction To Threads To understand threads one must think of several programs running at once.

Windows API Tutorial: Using Threads
Multitasking is one of the most difficult aspects of programming. It makes it even more important to provide a simple set of abstractions and to encapsulate it in a nice object-oriented shell. In the OO world, the natural counterpart of the thread (which is a strictly procedural abstraction) is the Active Object . An active object owns a captive thread that performs certain tasks asynchronously.
