What Mom Never Told You About Multi-threading (mobile edition)

Talk abstract:

When we were little kids, surely there were many taboo topics our moms never mentioned. There is actually a big chance one of those is multi-threading. That is why in this talk we are going to walk together through the different alternatives we have nowadays in order to handle, manage and master multi-threading on mobile platforms. Our focus will be mainly Android but all the content and techniques exposed here can be also used within other platforms for software engineering threading problem solving. Jump in!
