The book deals with two subjects, which have nothing directly to do with each other, and the two parts of the book can be read independently of each other. The first part deals with multi-threaded programs and how to synchronize threads. The second part of the book deals with LINQ which primarily is extensions methods defined for collection classes.Click here to download the source files from this book.
