Hi all,
I am a lecturer at a tertiary institution, the Technikon Free State in
South Africa. After 3 years of fighting, I was able to convince our
department to include OS/2 Warp in one of our subjects regarding systems
programming. I was asked by the lecturer in charge of the subject to
prepare some information on OS/2 Warp for the students, since I am the
only OS/2 user in our Win95 domain. He gave me a list of topics he would
like to present to the students :
- Features and benefits of OS/2
- Interface Design
- OS/2 Architecture
- Event-driven programming
- Multitasking
- Processes and Threads
- Preemptive time scheduling
- Define thread priority
- Scheduling priorities
- Difference between asymmetric and symmetric
multiprocessing
- List and describe the methods available to share data
- Describe shared memory between processes
- File mapping
- Anonymous pipes
- Named pipes
- Mailslots
- How the os addresses error handeling
- Exception handeling
- Registry and initialization files
- MAPI functions
I am presented with a golden oppertunity to promote OS/2 and
make the students aware of this OS. As can be seen from the
above, the purpose is to contrast OS/2 with Win95. I need
rather detailed information regarding the above, as well as
some demo programs. (the lecturer has a CD full of Win95
programs to illustrate the above topics, and I would like to
do the same in OS/2)
Any help would be grately appreciated.
Thank you
