3.0 out of 5 stars Error-filled and being revised, 26 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Windows NT: Device Driver Book (Prentice Hall Series on Microsoft Technologies) (Paperback)
While a relatively understandable introduction to the topic, it cannot serve as a reliable reference given the number of errors contained in it. Moreover, the author is working on a second edition, due at the end of the year; I can't recommend spending money on the current form.

At the time it was written, it was the only thing available and valuable for that alone; but there are better alternatives today. Get the Anthony Mason/Peter Viscarola book instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellant Starting Point to Writing a NT Device Driver, 29 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Windows NT: Device Driver Book (Prentice Hall Series on Microsoft Technologies) (Paperback)
I successfully wrote an NT device driver using this book as a guide. This was my first experience at writing a NT device driver for a PC expansion card that we designed in-house. This book made the task straightforward. I was surprised at how fast I got the kernel-mode driver working with few defects. I used NuMega's SoftICE debugger which was a good choice.

By A Customer
This review is from: Windows NT: Device Driver Book (Prentice Hall Series on Microsoft Technologies) (Paperback)
I finished Art's book and I must say that I am impressed with his choice of subjects, his clear style and his light humor throughout. Moreover, his examples teach in fact what his narative imaginatively presents. If you are buying this book to teach you about writing a certain kind of driver, say NDIS 4.0, then don't. It's very short on specifics of that kind. But, if you want to learn the "basics" about writing NT drivers, this will get it done. The gift that Art brings through his book is more than dry facts about NT driver lore and technique. Unlike the DDK Guide, Art has placed the process into perspective by presenting the material in a logically progressive manner. Further, we benefit from Art's long experience at teaching the subject as well as, I suspect, his hobknobbing with the MS development folks and having had many a question answered. I would not be surprised to learn that he has "even" seen NT's sources since he formerly worked for DEC with their intimate association with Uncle Bill's Belleview Works. I know that I have come to understand some things that, frankly, I thought were in the realm of accepting on faith. To sum up, though experienced, I learned alot, and, I am convinced I will continue to do so every time I pick it up in the future. I do have one caution to offer. Art's book is no substitute for the DDK Guide -- I think after reading Art's book, you should then skim through the Guide. It's in the neighborhood of 1000 screen pages of if you want to print it out, it's much shorter. Since the Guide was written as an online reference, it tends to repeat a lot of information. This can be tedious reading but, hey, that's how I learned -- I only wish that I had had Art's book as a primer.
