Description

The Windows OS exposes many advanced services to system programmers through the Windows API, and to device driver writers through the Kernel API. The .NET framework wraps these services and runs on top of the Windows API and the Kernel. Good knowledge of what’s going on under the hood of the OS, which services are available and how to best utilize them helps in building better and more efficient software for Windows. This course discusses the internal workings of Windows and its exposed services, so they can be leveraged better by you!
