The Owl's great books of our trade

slightly edited, the schedules mentioned apparently couldn't be met ;-)

PMODEHUN.RAR

   great book in hungarian only... it's about raw pmode programming,

stuff you won't necessarily run into in the windows/linux worlds (like

processor tasks or conforming code segments).



ADVWIN.RAR

   advanced windows by jeffrey richter, introduces to the finer details

of win32 programming, although in c only.



ASMPRGW3.RAR

   windows assembly language and systems programming by barry kauler,

probably a classical work, although the way the material is presented is at a

lower level than one would expect from someone with an academic background.



WNTFSYS.RAR

   windows nt file system internals by rajeev nagar, one of the best

books on nt internals (not only its file system!).



WINVXD.RAR

   writing windows vxds and device drivers by karen hazzah, a fairly

well written book.



W95SCRTS.RAR

   windows 95 system programming secrets by matt pietrek, guess no need

to introduce this one ;-).



W95FSYS.RAR

   inside the windows 95 file system by stan mitchell, one of the best

but also less known books on win95 internals (not only the file system).

let me state only one thing: i have used the ideas in the book to

develop my own PAGEIN patch... the monitoring tools are worth another essay, i

don't think anything else surpasses multimon in its capabilities right

now...



UNDOCPC.RAR

   the undocumented pc by frank van gilluwe, the best hardware book i

have ever seen, although not entirely up-to-date (e.g. lacks PCI

programming info).



SYSPRG32.RAR

   systems programming for windows 95 by walter oney, another classical

work, better than the hazzah book IMHO. the author is a real veteran in

the PC world, presents much bacground info...
