Learn to program Windows the way the operating system really works. Pavel Yosifovich, author of Windows 10 System Programming and co-author of Windows Internals, teaches the Windows API in C and C++: error handling and strings, kernel objects and handles, sharing objects between processes, sessions, and creating and enumerating processes, with labs that build real tools.

Master the Windows APIs behind fast, reliable native software. Continuing from part 1, Pavel Yosifovich, author of Windows 10 System Programming and co-author of Windows Internals, teaches job objects, threads and thread pools, every synchronization primitive, synchronous and asynchronous I/O, and memory management with the Virtual API, heaps and memory mapped files, with labs and solution walkthroughs.

Complete your Windows API foundation with DLLs, security and COM. In the final part of the series, Pavel Yosifovich, author of Windows 10 System Programming and co-author of Windows Internals, covers building and loading DLLs, DllMain and the loader lock, DLL injection techniques, access tokens, privileges, UAC and security descriptors, COM as a client, and the Win32 windowing model.
