Developers often make the mistake of thinking that there's a one-to-one correspondence between a task and a window. Matt Pietrek explains the relation relationship between them, then presents TASKWIND, his version of the Windows Task Manager.

Event objects in Windows NT behave quite differ- ently than mutexes and semaphores. They're most commonly used when one thread performing work needs to signal another thread to do more work. Jeff Richter shows you how to use these events appropriately.
