Windows Driver Training
Windows Driver Training and Windows Internals Class
A clear grasp of the Windows foundation is instrumental to creating stable, high performance applications. Even a competent team of C# or Java developers can greatly benefit from deep understanding of the operating system. Our instructors have years of experience developing kernel and user-mode system level code for consumer and enterprise applications. We designed this unique class to bring practical knowledge to students who can leverage the skills they acquire to build best-of-breed products. It starts by covering low level concepts and moves into exploring the deep caverns of the Windows kernel. Students will also get an unprecedented look into the internal operation of malware and virtualization technologies, learn how to troubleshoot common software conflicts and design applications that interact well with system software such as firewalls, VPNs and anti-virus applications.
The target audience is developers, IT and support personnel and other individuals with keen interest in the inner working of Windows.
