Free public beta until December 4, 2026: every course is open, no card needed. After that, the first chapter of each course stays free and full access is a one-time $39 ($19 for up to 100 founding members chosen for helpful feedback). Your progress is kept. How the beta works

thread

One line of work the computer runs; a program can have several at once.

A thread is an operating-system scheduling unit with its own call stack, sharing the process's memory with its other threads.

Examples

  • new Thread(() => Console.WriteLine("working")).Start(); makes a thread by hand; Task.Run borrows one from the pool instead.
