Description

As you approach Windows NT and Windows 95, you will find that they are modern, robust and extremely rich operating systems that let application developers exploit a wealth of cutting-edge features, and capabilities. Both operating systems are based on the Win32 API, an immense collection of C level functions that provides access to all available system services. You may have heard about many of these cutting edge features multiple application threads, remote procedure calls (RPCs), network communications, file mapping, compressed file access, serial communications, object and file security, synchronization, event logging, TCP/IP networking, interprocess communication, network drive and printer sharing, services (background processing), and registry entries. Win32 System Services: The Heart of Windows 95 and Windows NT helps you rapidly master these capabilities so that you can use them effectively in your own applications. Now in its second edition, Win32 System Services provides the road map you need to explore Windows NT and Windows 95 with confidence. The book's many useful features include over 9,000 lines of source code, a complete on-line index, and compatibility notes in each chapter to help you quickly understand the differences between the Windows NT version of Win32 and the Windows 95 subset.
