Porting Unix Applications to Windows Nt

Rating:
Summary: A good book for unix programmer
Review: A good and detailed comparison between Unix and NT system programming. If you are an expert in Unix system programming and know nothing about NT system programming, this book is a good start. I learn a lot from it!

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book - a couple of years out of date.
Review: It is an excellent book to understand the major differences between Unix and Windows NT. As far as porting code from Unix to Windows NT is concerned it is out of date because it does not cover the latest (versions of) emulation environments such as Cygwin, NuTCRACKER, Interix, and U/Win. In fact two of these environments did not even exist (?) at the time this book was written (Windows NT 4.0 was just released). The author does a good job of providing useful details and is definitely enjoyable to read. If he adds a few chapters covering the other porting environments with their latest versions(which should not be too hard to do) this book can be brought back to its EXCELLENT state.
