A practical guide to the central features and functions of the Windows API, Windows System Programming, Third Edition, will get you up and running with Windows XP and 2003, as well as other Windows systems. Unlike most Windows programming resources, this book focuses exclusively on the core system servicesfile system, memory, processes and threads, synchronization, communication, and securityrather than on the more commonly featured graphical user interface functions. Especially geared for those already familiar with UNIX or other high-end operating systems, Windows System Programming, Third Edition, helps you to build on your knowledge base to learn the most important features quickly and easily. This new edition has been updated and enhanced with coverage of new API functions, network programming, Windows Services, process and thread management, synchronization, and application performance on single and multiprocessor systems. It also describes techniques for porting applications to Win64, the new Windows 64-bit API.

Programmers are craftspeople trained to use a certain set of tools (editors, object managers, version trackers) to generate a certain kind of product (programs) that will operate in some environment (operating systems on hardware assemblies).Показать полностьюProgrammers are craftspeople trained to use a certain set of tools (editors, object managers, version trackers) to generate a certain kind of product (programs) that will operate in some environment (operating systems on hardware assemblies). Like any other craft, computer programming has spawned a body of wisdom, most of which isn't taught at universities or in certification classes. Most programmers arrive at the so-called tricks of the trade over time, through independent experimentation. In The Pragmatic Programmer, Andrew Hunt and David Thomas codify many of the truths they've discovered during their respective careers as designers of software and writers of code. Some of the authors' nuggets of pragmatism are concrete, and the path to their implementation is clear. They advise readers to learn one text editor, for example, and use it for everything. They also recommend the use of version-tracking software for even the smallest projects, and promote the merits of learning regular expression syntax and a text-manipulation language. Other (perhaps more valuable) advice is more light-hearted. In the debugging section, it is noted that, "if you see hoof prints think horses, not zebras." That is, suspect everything, but start looking for problems in the most obvious places. There are recommendations for making estimates of time and expense, and for integrating testing into the development process. You'll want a copy of The Pragmatic Programmer for two reasons: it displays your own accumulated wisdom more cleanly than you ever bothered to state it, and it introduces you to methods of work that you may not yet have considered. Working programmers will enjoy this book.

Microsoft Windows 2000 offers many features and subsystems designed specifically to handle an enterprise’s mission-critical data-processing needs. These features and subsystems are not available on client operating systems such as Microsoft Windows 98.Показать полностьюMicrosoft Windows 2000 offers many features and subsystems designed specifically to handle an enterprise’s mission-critical data-processing needs. These features and subsystems are not available on client operating systems such as Microsoft Windows 98. Only Windows 2000 offers the Service Control Manager (SCM), performance monitoring, event logging, security, asynchronous I/O, and so on. This book describes these features, explains the motivation to use them, and gives you the information you need to best leverage them. This book does not attempt to explain basic Windows programming and assumes that you are already quite familiar with many Windows topics such as processes, threads, thread synchronization, DLLs, Unicode, structured exception handling, and memory management. If you need a refresher on any of these topics, I encourage you to consult Programming Applications for Microsoft Windows, Fourth Edition (Jeffrey Richter, Microsoft Press, 1999). The sample source code in the book you are reading requires you to be well acquainted with the C++ programming language. Throughout this book, emphasis is placed on writing high-performance and robust services that are expected to stay running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Also, Microsoft is hard at work developing 64-bit Windows 2000. It is expected that many companies will eventually use 64-bit Windows to host their services since this system will offer greater performance and scalability. At the time of this writing, a 64-bit version of Windows has not been released. However, 64-bit Windows has been considered while developing all the source code in this book. The sample applications will build and run with little or no modification on 64-bit Windows once Microsoft makes it available.

Programming Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange is a thorough guide for building collaborative applications such as threaded discussions and electronic business documents.Показать полностьюProgramming Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange is a thorough guide for building collaborative applications such as threaded discussions and electronic business documents. Early on, the book describes four types of collaborative applications: messaging, tracking, workflow, and real-time applications. Author Thomas Rizzo shows the strengths of Microsoft Outlook and Exchange Server for collaboration, including the many built-in security and administration features. Rizzo also covers Outlook 98 development, explaining how to customize folders, fields, and views (including rules and filtered replication of messages). He then shows how to create Outlook forms, with instruction on how to use components and add VBScript event handlers. An account tracking application demonstrates all the basics on this topic. The second half of the book is strong on building Web-based collaborative applications and covers Web tools such as Outlook Today and the Outlook HTML Form Converter. Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) objects are fully explained, showing how they can be built with ASPs and viewed in a browser. Rizzo provides excellent samples for a help desk, a calendar of events, and an intranet news application, and carefully lists the exact versions of various Microsoft tools required to run each example successfully. The book closes with material on the Event Scripting Agent and Exchange Server Routing Objects, which provide fault-tolerant message delivery. — Richard Dragan — This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Advanced .NET Programming is the perfect next step for developers who have learned a .NET language and the basic workings of the Common Language Runtime, and who now want to move to the next level.Показать полностьюAdvanced .NET Programming is the perfect next step for developers who have learned a .NET language and the basic workings of the Common Language Runtime, and who now want to move to the next level. Although we look in some detail at the workings of the CLR, the focus throughout the book is on the practical information that you need to know to write applications that really get the most out of .NET. In this book, Simon Robinson — the author of the best-selling Professional C# 2nd Edition — fills in the holes with the topics that most .NET books don't cover. Because we assume that you're already a competent .NET programmer, this is one .NET book that doesn't waste time telling you what you already know. Instead, we dive straight into the details that you need to write applications that make the best use of the CLR, and also look at many aspects of .NET programming that aren't covered in introductory books. Topics covered include: * Intermediate Language — the native language of .NET, and dynamically generating code * In-depth coverage of how the CLR works * Optimizing the performance of your applications and profiling their usage of system resources * Thread synchronization in .NET * Advanced Windows applications * Managing resources on a machine using WMI * Security and cryptography in .NET
