Synopsis

A lab manual for your operating systems course.

With this supplement for any undergraduate operating systems course, Prof. Gary Nutt has written a lab manual showing how core concepts are implemented on a modern operating system - Windows NT.

Operating System Projects Using Windows NT provides a series of twelve lab exercises that can be solved on a Windows NT workstation - these exercises ask students to write programs for NT's Win 32 API. This allows students to experiment with Windows NT without having to work in a raw hardware environment that offers little support. Using this manual, students will gain important insight into how Windows NT is designed and implemented and learn how to construct effective software that interacts directly with the OS, rather than with higher-level abstract machines.

Features
Includes an expansive introduction to NT and working in the NT environment.

Each exercise contains an introduction to relevant NT concepts needed by students to solve the exercise

All exercises use the character-oriented console cmd.exe. All exercises are based on C programs that are compiled and written in the Microsoft Visual C++ environment (even though none of them are visual, and none are written in C++)
