Test Driving Multi-threaded Code

Dr. Venkat Subramaniam says: "Once I got convinced about the benefits of TDD, I used it pretty extensively and consistently to drive the design and development of my code. So, it came as a surprise when I was trying to convince myself that those practices do not apply on a highly multithreaded code I was creating on a project. Thankfully I set out to prove that TDD does not apply, but ended up proving myself wrong. In this, zero powerpoint, all coding presentation, we will use TDD to drive the design and implementation of a multithreaded code. Along the way we will hit some road blocks, and learn techniques and practices that can break the barriers. If you have confronted the issue or have wondered about it, this presentation is for you."
