Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Necessary for VxD beginner, good for all
Review: This book is necessary if you are new to VxDs, easy to read from cover to cover. I recommend it.


It has good examples for experienced VxD programmers. Other books are needed for someone writing advanced VxDs.


Warning: I found both obvious and subtle errors in some of the examples. They don't all compile and work without changes.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: No Common Class Driver Documentation, good Theory
Review: Unfortunately for me, the book is more an overview than a practical book ; it is focused on Custom Drivers; it doesn't explain how to write a common class device driver (for instance, a display, a printer or a keyboard device driver). There should be coverage for standard classes (the most common class of driver), what interfaces windows defines and expects to be used for standard classes, etc. I think that _every_ book adds knowledge though, and this book has very good theorical explanations. Bottom Line: it's not the book for you if you are attemting to write a common class driver.
