Subject: [ntdev] RE: Book for WinNT Drivers



Because I like book reviews, I thought I would add my 2cents.

I've read the following and found that each of them have different strong
points:

Baker (the first) - still holds the record for bounding out a driver in
short order...
Nagar             - file systems...
Viscarola & Mason - how the system works with respect to device drivers...
Dekker & Newcomer - kernel mode device drivers...
Oney              - driver data flow and WDM...


All the above books are excellent and anyone of them will aid in the process
of developing a driver.  If I had to make a choice and select just one ...

Last year I had to write a filter driver.  I pulled out the Baker floppy and
made great progress.  Then I had to refer to Nagar to understand how to get
it working with the changes I need to add.

Write Drivers, need library.

I have not read Cant's book yet.  But I am planning on getting the next
Baker book this summer.


just to add
to the confusion,
davem.
