Windows System Programming 4th 原版pdf by Hart

This book describes application development using the Microsoft Windows Application Programming Interface (API), concentrating on the core system services, including the file system, process and thread management, interprocess communication, network programming, and synchronization. The examples concentrate on realistic scenarios, and in many cases they’re based on real applications I’ve encountered in practice. The Win32/Win64 API, or the Windows API, is supported by Microsoft’s family of 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems; versions currently supported and widely used include Windows 7, XP, Vista, Server 2003, Server 2008, and CE. Older Windows family members include Windows 2000, NT, Me, 98, and 95; these systems are obsolete, but many topics in this book still apply to these older systems. The Windows API is an important factor for application development, frequently replacing the POSIX API (supported by UNIX and Linux) as the preferred API for applications targeted at desktop, server, and embedded systems now and for the indefinite future. Many programmers, regardless of experience level, need to learn the Windows API quickly, and this book is designed for them to do so.
