I don't have a specific book in mind, but I would encourage newcomers to learn the high-level API introduced in C++11 (std::thread, std::async, etc.) instead of the low-level, platform-specific API currently recommended by the Qt docs (pthreads/Win32 threads). The former is much cleaner and more portable (assuming the platform toolchains are C++11 compliant). I'd only recommend books on pthreads/Win32 threads to people who need/want in-depth details about those APIs. > On Sun, Aug 30, 2015 at 10:48 AM, Sze Howe Koh <szehowe....@gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> Hi all, >> >> http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/threads.html#recommended-reading points readers >> to some books about multithreading.
