parallel programming(part 2)

[akmal4ik]

hi, i need help with parallel programming in C++.
first time i asked, i get answer about boost.thread i read documentation, but i can't download this library, it's too big.
my question is what differ between:
- AfxBeginThread
- SendMessage, PostMessage
- boost.thread
- mpi
i read about them and understand that they used to parallel programming, but i don't know which one is good for me(i don't know about paralel programming nothing at all) ). can you help me with choise. if you have some good articles about parallel programming pls write about them here.
thanks alot, and sorry for my english.

AfxBeginThread - you need to learn mfc for that but looks you dont know win32 so first learn win32 (windows programming) and learn mfc and then only you can do threading.
sendmessage waits for the message and postmessage returns immediately after sending the message. nothing to do with parell programming i guess.
boost.thread is a set of classes to support threads or what you call parallel programming.
mpi - ???

if you are new to c++, i suggest learn c and c++ first. and if you program on windows and using mfc learn windows programming also before jumping to threading. Read charles petzold and jeff prosise (check spellings)
