RE: Threaded Euphoria
Could someone explain what threads are, and how they fit into
programming in general, and why they aren't in Euphoria? Not that I'm
complaining, I just don't know *anything* about them.
I come from a GWBasic/Hyperlogo/HyperStudio background, so all of my
experience comes from "simple" languages, if you'll pardon the
expression. I also had a crack at an early prototype of what would
become Lego Mindstorms when I was in a "Youth-In-Sciences" type program
at The Franklin Institute, at least 9 years ago (I was 14 or 15). That
was very interesting, but we only had about 5 weeks (two days a week) to
work with the materials before Lego came back and surveyed us and took
all our toys away :(.
Besides threads, what other programming structures/techniques/?things
can I expect to encounter while learning Euphoria, and then C, that will
be new, coming from my background?
Thanks,
