site is contains over 70 useful code fragments and tips for Win32 programmers, and also links to related Win32 sites which fellow Windows NT programmers might find interesting
these essays are intended for beginners, pointing out useful techniques. Some are for experienced programmers poking into previously unknown areas of MFC. Some are advanced techniques, highly specialized.
"all of the techniques I know (and use) to reduce the size of executables. Some of these techniques can be applied to any C / C++ Win32 project, whilst other techniques are quite restrictive as to the type of application you can apply them to."
converts from one character encoding to another through Unicode conversion (see Web page for full list of supported encodings). It has also limited support for transliteration, i.e. when a character cannot be represented in the target character set, it is
The Microsoft® Windows® Driver Development Kit (DDK) is a consolidated driver development kit that provides a build environment, tools, driver samples, and documentation to support driver development for the Windows family of operating systems.
32-bit programming for Windows 95/98/ME or NT/2000/XP using assembler, you will find everything you need here including an Assembler, Resource Compiler, Linker, Symbolic Debugger, Editor, Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), Help Compiler, etc...
A file system filter driver intercepts requests targeted at a file system or another file system filter driver. By intercepting the request before it reaches its intended target, the filter driver can extend or replace functionality provided by the origin
from Glowdot Code by Rick Strom " if you start with Win32, you will have very little problem moving to MFC or .NET, since they just simplify the process."
component provides a layer over the Win32 API on Windows 95/98/ME so that you can write a single Unicode version of your application and have it run properly on all platforms. Platform Software Development Kit Redistributable
these are samples, not complete applications. The code (and coding style) is not meant to be industrial strength; it's not even well-designed. The sole purpose of the samples is illustrating a point, not teaching proper coding style.
automatically hardens software applications against a wide range of bugs. These bugs — known as memory errors — often end up as serious security vulnerabilities, cause crashes, or lead to unpredictable behavior.
Why it is not replaced by COM, how it works, network DDE, links to other sources of information. DDE is support is being removed from Windows (Windows 7 x64 seems to have an issue with it)
