Windows System Programming, 4/e is the definitive developer`s guide to making the most of the core Windows APIs, including those introduced with Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and beyond. Thoroughly updated to reflect Microsoft`s new APIs, this book focuses on essential core system services -- file system, memory, processes and threads, synchronization, communication, and security -- rather than the more commonly featured graphical user interface functions. Beginning with an examination of the features required in a single-process application, the text gradually progresses to increasingly sophisticated functions and multithreaded environments. Each chapter contains realistic examples, and this edition`s code samples have been updated and streamlined to reflect today`s best practices for Windows development and 64-bit code portability. This edition`s extensive new coverage includes: " An all-new chapter on parallelism and performance in multicore systems " Detailed new coverage of source code portability across Windows, Linux, and UNIX " New coverage of .NET and managed code impact and co-existence " When, why, and how to use the Windows API vs. .NET " More coverage of security, benchmarking, and other key topics Many readers have noted that Hart`s book perfectly complements Mark Russinovich`s well-known Windows Internals: Hart shows how to make the most of the features that Russinovich describes.
