At last there's an in-depth guide for corporate and commercial developers
that makes sense out of 32-bit programming and the Windows NT Software
Development Kit (SDK). Introducing ADVANCED WINDOWS NT from Microsoft
Press.

In this insightful and practical new book, author Jeffrey Richter examines
the core areas of the Windows NT operating system. Rather than rehashing
the functions and features common to Windows 3.1 and Windows NT, Richter
concentrates on what's new, what's different, and what's important about
Windows NT. Topics include:

* Managing virtual memory and using memory-mapped files
* Managing processes and threads, including thread-local 
  storage and thread synchronization
* Taking maximum advantage of preemptive multitasking
* Writing robust, error-free applications using structured
  exception handling
* Writing DLLs - and techniques for using them effectively
* Using Windows NT to provide a secure environment for
  applications

The 25 sample programs presented in ADVANCED WINDOWS NT are included on a
companion disk. Written for the Intel MIPS and Digital Alpha AXP
microprocessors these programs show true 32-bit programming techniques in
action.

The appendix explains how to use "message crackers" to help read, write,
and maintain source code. A comprehensive table of contents and a
thorough, fully cross-referenced index helps readers quickly locate
information about any topic in the book.

Jeffrey Richter is the author of Windows 3.1: A Developer's Guide and is a
contributing editor of Microsoft Systems Journal. He also developed the
DeMystifiers, a suite of 16-bit developer's tools. A consultant and
in-house trainer, Richter is a frequent speaker at developers'
conferences.

Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1 is required. The book
includes one 1.44-MB 3.5-inch disk.
