Windows Internals 7th Edition
-
Considering snagging a copy, has anyone read this edition or past editions and do you have an opinion on it as a resource?
-
If you are looking to do Windows development for native components, definitely the definitive read. Otherwise, not really useful.
-
@scottalanmiller Gotchya. I'm not necessarily looking at it from a development standpoint at the moment, more so a deep dive knowledge wise on the kernel, memory queues, and I/O processing from an engineering perspective. I couldn't find anything else that covered all of that info besides this and it seemed like it'd give a pretty good amount of info regarding what I was looking for. Anything else you'd recommend?
-
@r3dpand4 he's probably gonna say "Linux".
-
@rojoloco That'd be surprising....I mean even if/when I move to Linux Engineering I'll still need documentation and resources to read on the kernel.

No you don't. That's not how systems administration works.

While interesting and all, why are you looking for that info? What's the end goal?
-
@scottalanmiller Not looking at administration currently.

What ARE you looking at? You are looking at kernel dev resources, what's the end goal?
-
@scottalanmiller Increased general knowledge of how the OS actually handles various tasks, particularly with iSER, task/job scheduling, and resource allocation.
-
@scottalanmiller Honestly just an "under the hood" view to get a better understanding of how everything functions in the environment. It's possibly overkill, but I didn't feel like it'd be wasted time spent or knowledge. Also again if/when i move to the Linux world, it seems like it'd be good to have a base of what differs at the kernel level.
