Threading is one of those topics that creates a lot of discussion in programming. Threading in C# is quite easy. However using it correctly, especially when you start doing data access or sharing information across threads it becomes difficult to keep everything in sync. For this example I'm going to focus on creating some basic threads that run and do some basic output to show we have concurrent threads running.
