Windows 7 Device Driver (Addison-Wesley Microsoft Technology Series)

Buy

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.

There has been great progress in the art of creating and debugging device drivers. There is now a great deal of object-oriented design techniques associated with the driver frameworks that are available to the device driver developer. Much of the previous grunt work, thank goodness, is now being handled by the latest device development framework Windows Driver Foundation (WDF). We will be covering both the user mode and kernel mode of device driver development. WDF has excellent submodels contained within it, called the User Mode Driver Framework and the Kernel Mode Driver Framework.

It is really great to see a Windows Driver Framework involved in the creation of Windows Device Drivers. I started working with Windows in 1990 and we primarily used the Win32 System APIs to communicate and control the Windows Operating System for our applications. We used the Device Driver Kit (DDK) to create the Windows drivers. Because I had my own company to create application software, I obviously was very concerned about the time it took to develop application software, and the robustness of the application. There were more than 2,000 Win32 APIs to be used for this task.
