Review

When I first began making the transition from UNIX device drivers to those for Windows NT, there weren't a lot of available resources to help me along. However, things have changed over the past couple of years, and there is now plenty of information, including articles in Dr. Dobb's Journal and Microsoft Systems Journal, Paula Tomlinson's "Understanding NT" column in Windows Developer's Journal, Microsoft Developer Network, the Microsoft web site, and various other resources on the Internet. However, the place I recommend you start is with Windows NT Device Driver Development, by Peter G. Viscarola and W. Anthony Mason.

Windows NT Device Driver Development is a well-organized, easy to read, and complete introduction to NT device driver development. It could be read cover to cover as a student text. Because of its clean layout, the book is as valuable a reference as any of the resources listed above.

The book is authoritative, and the asides come from the (apparently extensive) personal experiences of the authors. They have recently been active and helpful on the mail lists described in the resources appendix. Windows NT Device Driver Development is also well edited. There are no major errors or omissions. The index is large and accurate. Index entries are purely topic and concept based. As a commitment to quality, the authors and the publisher have offered a bug bounty...Read more from this review.--Regan Russell, Dr. Dobb's Journal -- Dr. Dobb's Journal

From the Back Cover

Windows NT Device Driver Development is the definitive and comprehensive technical reference for software engineers, systems programmers, and any engineer who needs to understand Windows NT systems internals. You will learn: vital information about the internal design and architecture of the Windows NT operating system; Critical information on the implementation of standard Windwows NT kernel mode drivers; Key information on the workings of Windows NT I/O Manager, including how I/O requests are described and passed among drivers; and detailed technical information on interrupt management and synchronization issues.

i've looked at several books for windows device drivers, and this book is by far the best. It explains the 'why' instead of just pushing out examples with no explanation. Also, it's written by the osr group. in my opinion, the osr group consists of the real experts on windows device driver development. i would highly recommend this book. also, in my personal opinion, i found it to be far superior to the official windows books which are over $100 each.

The guide to windows driver development

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2017

This was the original book on how to write drivers for the windows operating system. Writing windows drivers is very complicated and microsoft's documentation is very sparse and lacking in details. Read this book instead to understand the fundamentals and advanced concepts of windows drivers architecture.

This book is VERY well written and VERY readable. I needed other sources to get an actual driver written (see Chris Cant's book) but only because this book gives a much more complete picture and I needed something more specific. That's my point...if you want a good, solid understanding of the system and an excellent reference, get this book. It's not often one finds technical-minded people with such writing skill.

Before this book, you were out in the Zoo

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 1998

Windows NT Device Driver Development (W3D) does an incredible job at explaining what is going on. Chapter by chapter (there are 24 chapters) a story unfolds explaining what events lead device drivers in Windows NT to run part of their code. Much detail covers what environment device drivers will find their code running in and how they should deliver things when handing over the next player.
I found the core chapters of this book to be the most interesting. For the first time I was reading about NT, and getting a good feel for the flow of control. While much detail is being presented, care was taken to keep the discussion moving. Cleverly topics that could distract the readers the train of thought are postponed a page or two and then given full attention. Source code is mostly discussed after the principles have been covered, and the code is all well commented, but also clear enough to be read without comments.
This book is an absolute must for anyone doing NT kernel programming or having a detailed interest in it. It is focussed on NT only and perhaps it is a pity that this wonderful discussion does not draw analogies with other operating systems, which often share similar principles. The clarity of the discussion is marvelous and enticing. Through the eyes of the masters, Windows NT appears to be a very interesting system.

essential for device drivers and other NT internals

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2005

This is an amazing book. It's not a tutorial for a building device driver. For device driver developers, it is an essential reference for understanding NT's kernel system. This book is also great for those who are not building device drivers but want to understand the NT kernel. The chapters on virtual memory, I/O architecture and I/O managers are totally worth the price of the book.

Masterful explanation of Windows NT. Even the book was written even before XP was launched, still the basic concepts are same today. A must have for windows device driver developers.
