Welcome! I post videos that help you learn to program and become a more confident software developer. I cover beginner-to-advanced systems topics ranging from network programming, threads, processes, operating systems, embedded systems and others. My goal is to help you get under-the-hood and better understand how computers work and how you can use them to become stronger students and more capable professional developers.

Explaining concepts with code is pure gold..! As Linus Torvalds says, "Talk is cheap show me the code".

I have been trying to get my threads running for 3 whole days. After using your method of passing the sockets as pointers my problem was solved. Thank you so much

Hi please do some tutorials on EC200U opencpu .

[RaminPourabbas]

thanks for the tutorial, that's very awesome. I have one question, in this tutorial, do we have thread-safety problem? every thread created is working on a same function with the same resource! if there is such an issue, why the code is running without problem?
