[Topic Idea] Introduction To Threading

[yangc95]

A thread is part of some process in a program that handles a single path of execution.

Diagrams are recommended!

Get creative with your example code snippets and keep it original 👍 Tack on the language used for this piece at the end of the title, ex: “Introduction To Threading in Python.”

Let us know if you want to write this!

Hi @smyja just checking in to see how's the progress on this? Is there anything we can help out with?

Thanks for reaching out, I've been indisposed. So I had to take a break, I'll start working on it over the weekend. Happy holidays.

@yangc95 @KTom101 I will work on this and complete this article if no one is actively working on it. I am already studying threading and also working on a personal project to showcase threading. Well I loved this repo hope I can work on other articles in future if they fall into my domain of work.

[KTom101]

@smyja I want to ensure you didn't just forget to submit this entry. If there isn't a response in 1-2 days, I will reassign this to the other community member who wants to work on this. 🙂

Thanks for reaching out, I actually forgot. I had already started it but @dakshdeepHERE can take the two. I'll write on something else when i am less busy. :)

[KTom101]

@smyja Thank you! Hopefully we see you back at a later time 👍

[KTom101]

@dakshdeepHERE I've just assigned you to this!

[dakshdeepHERE]

@KTom101 @yangc95 hey I have one more doubt I have noticed in other contributors articles that to link a image they have given the link for codeacdemy repo path to their image or gif file but for now I have to use the path from my forked repo right?

[dakshdeepHERE]

See above I wanted to make something @yangc95 was doing at the start of the doc but it isn't working for me :( It works like this 👆🏻 So @yangc95 @KTom101 can I fix the 1st issue by uploading the png find to my forked repo and using that link there in the `()`. This method is very useful if I want to link the image multiple times in the doc and it also looks good

[dakshdeepHERE]

For references this is how @yangc95 added the gifs and images at the start of the doc 👇🏻

[KTom101]

@dakshdeepHERE You can link the images using the syntax shown but the image links will have to start with: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Codecademy/ugc/main/content/. This is because all your images will be added to the same folder containing your entry within the content folder.

[dakshdeepHERE]

@KTom101 oh Okay so in the end I just have to add my file name right?
In the end of this link like https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Codecademy/ugc/main/content/filename.extension
[Filename] : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Codecademy/ugc/main/content/filename.extension will work right?

[KTom101]

@dakshdeepHERE Yes, but you would also include the folder name in there too which would be your name. So for you it would be:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Codecademy/ugc/main/content/dakshdeephere/filename.extension

[Filename] : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Codecademy/ugc/main/content/dakshdeephere/filename.extension

This makes sense?

[dakshdeepHERE]

Yep got it @KTom101 Thank you for your help

[KTom101]

@dakshdeepHERE No problem!

[dakshdeepHERE]

hey @KTom101 Hand made diagrams will work? Or I have to make them inside my pc? I can attach some diagrams that I have made for threading if you want

[KTom101]

@dakshdeepHERE I would steer away from hand drawn diagrams. If you can't make them on your pc, let us know and we can figure out a way to help you out.

[dakshdeepHERE]

@KTom101 wait let me try to make them by myself then I will attach some down below like this one

Is this decent quality to add into the docs?

[dakshdeepHERE]

Sorry for the delays but I'm trying hard to implement everything I've learned in the last semester and trying to add good examples and good code samples too. Hope maintainers will like it 😅.

[KTom101]

@KTom101 wait let me try to make them by myself then I will attach some down below like this one Is this decent quality to add into the docs?

@dakshdeepHERE It looks a little fuzzy. Are you trying to keep the two diagrams side-by-side? It might be better if you separate them.

Alright I will try to improve the quality and keep them separate. Both of these diagram are the part of the same headline that I have in threading.

[dakshdeepHERE]

@KTom101 hey is html code allowed inside the markdown file?

Something like this 👆🏻
Also what is author_meta?

[dakshdeepHERE]

I just got a suggestion that we can also use tables in markdown to achieve the same result. So just let me know what is author_meta
