Windows System Programming, 4th Edition
As soon as I dug out the 3rd edition of this book to download samples for my internal projects I found that the new edition was published this month! I read all of them and now ordering the 4th edition:
Windows System Programming (4th Edition)
Actually I re-read the 2nd edition of Johnson M. Hart’s book when looking for a job in 2003 and coupled with timely reading of John Robbings’ book Debugging Applications (1st 2000 edition) secured my landing in Dublin East Point Business Park.
This book is an essential reading for Windows memory dump analysts, software maintenance and escalation engineers, software defect researchers and software tool developers. It lucidly describes and succinctly illustrates user-land Windows API with practical console mode samples in plain C. This book is especially valuable for software engineers coming from UNIX background because the author draws various parallels and provides maps between UNIX / Pthreads and Win32 / 64 APIs. Highly recommended! Plan to post an Amazon review when I get the copy of the 4th edition.
