-# Fib
+# Fibonacci Debugging Sample
 
-This code sample is to show debugging. Update `launch.json` and `tasks.json` in the `.vscode` folder to use your setup to build and debug.
+This sample demonstrates C++ debugging capabilities in VS Code using a multithreaded Fibonacci number generator.
+
+## Features
+- Modern C++ implementation using `std::thread`
+- Cross-platform debugging configuration
+- Multiple debugging scenarios:
+  - Breakpoint debugging
+  - Conditional breakpoints
+  - Watch expressions
+  - Crash investigation
+  - Debugger attachment
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+- C++ compiler (g++/clang/MSVC)
+- VS Code with C++ extension
+- Debugger (gdb/lldb/MSVC debugger)
+
+### Building
+```bash
+# Linux/macOS
+make
+
+# Windows (MinGW)
+g++ -std=c++11 -pthread -o fib.exe main.cpp thread.cpp
