Overview
Windows 95 and Windows NT coexist in many networked environments, and the two operating systems share a common networking API. However, there are some important differences in their capabilities and implementation. Win32 Network Programming shows programmers how to build networked applications that leverage 32-bit features and functionality, covering both Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0. From an industry veteran and a leading authority on network programming, the comprehensive coverage of Windows networking in this book includes strategies for building successful applications; discussion of overlapped I/O, I/O completion ports, Windows Sockets (including Winsock 2), the Service Registration API, the Win32 Security API, RPC, and Named Pipes; and how to apply the Microsoft Foundation Classes and object-oriented programming principles to Win32 network programming and use them to hide the differences between Windows NT and Windows 95. Included on the disk are code examples from the book: a C++/MFC class library that extends MFC to support overlapped I/O, I/O completion ports, Windows Sockets 2, the Windows Sockets Service Registration API, and related functionality.Learn to build applications that leverage new Win32 networking capabilities. With this book, Readers will the strengths and weaknesses of Windows 95's new networking features, how to take advantage of Windows 95 capabilities at the client end, and strategies for building successful applications running on Windows and NT networks.
