This book provides the technical guidance and understanding needed to
write device drivers for the new Windows 7 Operating System. It takes this
very complex programming development, and shows how the Windows
Driver Framework has greatly simplified this undertaking. It explains the
hardware and software architecture you must understand as a driver developer.
However, it focuses this around the actual development steps one
must take to develop one or the other of the two types of drivers. Thus, this
book’s approach is a very pragmatic one in that it explains the various software
APIs and computer and device hardware based upon our actual
device handler development.
