From the Back Cover

This book shows developers how system software actually works - so they can write it more effectively - and write applications that take full advantage of it.The book begins by describing exactly how a computer executes a program at the most rudimentary level, machine language. It then discusses software specifications at the next higher level, machine language, and shows how machine language must be packaged and processed for execution. Next, the book introduces basic compiler theory, and presents an overview of operating systems. With these basics established, the book discusses both the basics and advanced aspects of concurrency, a critical feature of both UNIX and the Win32 API. The book concludes with a case study using extensive practical programming examples.All programmers, software engineers, system designers and students interested in system software design.
