We've all written an Observer Pattern or list of Listeners at some point or another. And then later had to make it "thread safe". So we put a lock around the list of listeners...

So which evil did you choose:

1. potential deadlocks
2. potential post-death calls

Or did you not realize those were your typical choices?

In this talk we will look at what the problems are, and use them to highlight some of the fundamental problems of threading, and the things you can't take for granted with threads. And, of course, show some solutions to the problems.
