[Programming Microsoft 01] • Programming the Microsoft Windows Driver Model

This example-packed book details the Microsoft Win32 Driver Model (WDM) with practical advice and authoritative insights-from the source. A device driver is the code interface that enables a CPU to communicate to peripherals such as keyboards, mice, scanners, monitors, printers, and speakers. WDM provides a common set of input/output (I/O) services and binary-compatible device drivers for both current and future generations of the Windows operating system. By providing standardized driver classes and mini- drivers, WDM can help create tremendous efficiencies in device development and support. Developed in cooperation with the WDM team at Microsoft, PROGRAMMING THE MICROSOFT WIN32 DRIVER MODEL provides the definitive WDM coverage professional developers and VARs need to fully exploit this technology. NOTE: The Windows 2000 content in the book is being written to Microsoft Windows 2000 Beta 3.
