Must Have
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I'm a professional NT "BackOffice" developer and I regard this book as an absolute must have. It does rehash a lot of Richter and Petzold, but the book is worth having just for Chapter 16, "The LAN Manager API for Windows NT." If the LAN Manager API is better documented by any other book in print, then I'd like to but that book, but I think this is the best one. That makes this book essential for the professional NT network developer.
Ideal for client/server development in C
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I learned a lot about client/server communication reading this book. It must be noted, however, that some of it is getting outdated now (8/1998): Windows NT 3.5 is replaced by NT 4, C is replaced by C++ and Java, Networking classes can be bought in a class library. I recommend this book to people who want to understand the fundamentals. Chapters I liked most: How to build DLLs, how to build an NT service, explanation of process-to-process communication.
Good, but not the best book on this subject
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
There is a lot of good stuff here. And the code is very easy to read and use in your own programs. However, the authors spends way too much time covering topics best left to other books (like threading, memory management and file I/O). It would have been better if there were more real-world examples instead of covering things already in Petzold's and Richter's books.
