Multi-threading suggest parallel execution of multiple threads, which causes new class of difficultires comparing to single-thread programming.
To know multithreadings means knowing commong pitfalls and methods of coding around them. Usually these includes next terms:
* dead-lock
* live-lock
* synchronization
* race condition
* atomicity
* re-entrancy
* synchronization primitives
* memory barriers
A thread is the entity within a process that can be scheduled for execution. All threads of a process share its virtual address space and system resources. Each process is started with a single thread, but can create additional threads from any of its threads.

Do you know that ...?
0♡- It is possible to start thread in other process
E.g. via CreateRemoteThread Win API
0♡- Windows supports three levels of granularity of executable units
