Fourth Edition.
Advanced Level Users.
Includes CD-ROM.
This book is the pre-eminent guide to Windows programming at the API level. The previously titled 'Advanced Windows' is now revised to bring software developers the latest information about Windows 98, Windows 2000, and 64-bit Windows. Its complete coverage of the Windows operating system provides an inside view of how Windows 2000 and Windows 98 work and how to successfully utilise their features.
Topics covered include:
- Processes
- Threads
- Virtual memory
- DLLs
- File I/O
- Message crackers
In addition, this new edition shows how the move to 64-bit Windows will affect developers. The book provides detailed system information that is unavailable anywhere else, including architectural and implementation details, and sample code. For systems-level programmers, this is a must-have title.
