Microsoft Windows System Programming Training Seminar
Course Description: This hands on Windows system programming class covers programming for the Windows system environment using current Microsoft tools and technologies, with emphasis on the Win32 API. Visual Studio is used throughout the course as the development environment. Focusing on sophisticated design issues within the context of the Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008 operating systems, the course emphasizes inter-process communication and synchronization techniques as well as explaining advanced memory management, file handling and asynchronous I/O, multi-threaded processes, and techniques applicable to high-performance and large-scale software systems. The attendee will create various types of Windows system programs, such as services and dynamic-link libraries. Code optimization and portability issues, particularly to 64-bit platforms, are stressed throughout.
