Covering the Service Control Manager, Registry, performance monitoring, event logging, security, asynchronous I/O, and other key topics -- and featuring a CD-ROM packed with next-generation 64-bit code examples -- this book provides timely and substantive instruction for creating a powerful new class of enterprise solutions.
