Title: Writing Windows Wdm Device Drivers: Covers Nt 4, Win 98, and Win 2000 by Chris Cant ISBN: 0879305657 Publisher: CMP Books Pub. Date: July, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $49.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.17
Rating: 2
Summary: Not so usefull
Comment: I've found this book chaotic, and not very informative. It doesn't cover many topics like DMA and Direct I/O mode. I think this book can be more useful after reading any book covering NT drivers in details.
Rating: 4
Summary: Great entry point for beginners.
Comment: I needed to write a Windows device driver to do parallel port I/O on NT machines and handle hardware interrupts. The DDK is incomprehensible to novices. The Viscarola / Mason book is a great reference, but is not a good how-to. Oney has lots of important information on lots of important topics, but you can quickly get lost in tons of details that don't apply to the task at hand. Chris Cant gets it right in his book. His pedagogical strategy is to actually create a very small device driver, and then study it as you layer on the complexity, and not hit you with it all at once. It exactly addressed my primary needs. Its drawback is that it is not very detailed, nor is it a good advanced reference, so the ideal solution is to get all three books, and use them each for their own strength. But start with Chris Cant's. (He also includes a couple of very useful utilities, one of which is a marvelous debugging tool.)

Summary: No useful information
Comment: I found no useful information at all in this book. I developed a PCI device driver with DMA capabilities, and hoped that this book could give me some valuable hints on the subject. It did not. Nor did it give any clues on how to handle plug and play or power management. It looks as though the author just put some small WDM driver together, saw that it worked quite good, and then wrote a book about it.
