The term System Programming refers to programming close to an operating system level. Windows 10 System Programming provides guidance for system programmers targetting modern Windows systems, from Windows 7 up to the latest Windows 10 versions. The book uses the documented Windows Application Programming Interface (API) to leverage system-level facilities, including processes, threads, synchronization primitives, virtual memory and I/O. The book is presented in two parts, due to the sheer size of the Windows API and the Windows system facilities breadth. You’re holding in your hands (or your screen of choice) part 1.
Who Should Read This Book: The book is intended for software developers that target the Windows platform, and need to have a level of control not achievable by higher-level frameworks and libraries. The book uses C and C++ for code examples, as the Windows API is mostly C-based. C++ is used where it makes sense, where its advantages are obvious in terms of maintenance, clarity, resource management, and any combination of the above. The book does not use non-trivial C++ constructs, such as template metaprogramming. The book is not about C++, it’s about Windows.
That said, other languages can be used to target the Windows API through their specialized interoperability mechanisms. For example, .NET languages (C#, VB, F#, etc.) can use Platform Invoke (P/Invoke) to make calls to the Windows API. Other languages, such as Python, Rust, Java, and many others have their own equivalent facilities.
What You Should Know to Use This Book: Readers should be very comfortable with the C programming language, especially with pointers, structures, and its standard library, as these occur very frequently in the Windows APIs. Basic C++ knowledge is highly recommended, although it is possible to traverse the book with C proficiency only.
