Windows Kernel Programming: Fundamentals

In this course, we will learn the fundamentals of Windows kernel programming. We will start with I/O systems and learn how to write simple device drivers. We will also take a look at the I/O request packet to write more complex drivers.

Windows Internals Part 1: 7th Edition

The definitive guide–fully updated for Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 Delve inside Windows architecture and internals, and see how core components work behind the scenes. Led by a team of internals experts, this classic guide has been fully updated for Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016. Whether you are a developer or an IT professional, you’ll get critical, insider perspectives on how Windows operates. And through hands-on experiments, you’ll experience its internal behavior firsthand–knowledge you can apply to improve application design, debugging, system performance, and support.

Windows Kernel Programming

There is nothing like the power of the kernel in Windows - but how do you write kernel drivers to take advantage of that power? This book will show you how. The book describes software kernel drivers programming for Windows. These drivers don't deal with hardware, but rather with the system itself: processes, threads, modules, registry and more. Kernel code can be used for monitoring important events, preventing some from occurring if needed. Various filters can be written that can intercept calls that a driver may be interested in.

Windows 10 System Programming, Part 1

Delve into programming the Windows operating system through the Windows API in with C++. Use the power of the Windows API to working with processes, threads, jobs, memory, I/O and more. The book covers current Windows 10 versions, allowing you to get the most of what Windows has to offer to developers in terms of productivity, performance and scalability.
