What are the best C++ threading books one should read? And also, please indicate which threading library it uses and its level like beginner, intermediate, advanced or reference.
A:
"Multithreaded programming in C++", Mark Walmsley, Springer (January 2000)
ISBN: 1852331461 (from amazon)
This book is for beginners, and explains multithreading and synchronisation by building a framework step-by-step, using Windows and POSIX primitives.

Personally if you want to learn about threading (and concurrency) then the best thing currently I believe is Herb Sutters 'Effective Concurrency' series which will be fleshed out and turned into a book (later this year).

I was about to add an answer about this series :) One observation: the focus is on C++0x in these articles, however the topics context is general.

Later articles do have a C++0x bent (which is understandable since HS was the chair on the C++0x committee) but the earlier stuff can be applied to any language/framework.

Ok, thanks I will wait for this one.

+1 The Butenhof book is excellent, and explains many concurrency challenges very well (not just POSIX-specific).

If you are interested in the upcoming Standard C++ threading library, then have a look at C++ Concurrency in Action.

How about books that is already available right now, anything in mind?

"C++ Concurrency in Action" *is* available right now (apart from Appendix B) in draft form.

I have a copy of the _C++ Concurrency in Action_ draft; it's really quite good. The author, Anthony Williams, occasionally [posts on Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/users/5597/anthony-williams).
