Overview
What is the Subject Area?
Services are applications that run on Windows NT that are tightly integrated with the operating system. An example of an NT Service might be a network fax application that all networked users can use. This book is about both designing and writing services for NT Server with C++.There is a need for a standard approach - or usage pattern - for programming NT services. The reality with NT is that service writers must ensure they have at least a minimum understanding of the NT security system, the way in which NT manages memory and files and how NT threads processes. The real world of designing and writing a service actually involves a lot more. Therefore, the full spectrum of how a professional should design his service, then code and implement it, is covered right through to COM hosting.

Who is this Book for?
C/C++ Windows Programmers with basic knowledge of multithreading who need to write server applications that perform user-independent tasks. Client-server developers who want to include services as part of a multi-tiered system: with IIS or, as a business broker or, as a supplementary to be used by 'lighter' weight client development such as Visual Basic. Win32 developers who have basic COM & DCOM knowledge and want the service to serve up COM objects.Book Details
