No Bugs!
Every week the computer industry press is filled with stories of bug-ridden software releases that threaten to ruin a software company's reputation. No Bugs! offers a revolutionary approach to solving this problem by showing programmers how to write error-free code from the start.

Experienced software developer David Thielen reveals a series of tricks that you can include in a program to warn of the presence of bugs. All are designed to be quick and easy to implement so that you can shorten the amount of time needed to complete and test your programs. All coding is done in C, C++, and assembly language, and all examples are fully functional.

No Bugs! also explores effective testing strategies, demonstrating the importance of a carefully thought out testing process in shipping bug-free software.

More than a debugging guide No Bugs! offers programmers a new way of thinking about developing software. It is also an invaluable resource for testers, managers, software support personnel, and anyone involved in ensuring that software is delivered bug free to the customer.

Writing Windows Virtual Device Drivers
Virtual device drivers (also known as VxDs) allow Windows developers to access undreamed of power in their programs. If you want to write programs that have direct access to hardware devices, can interface to vital CPU functions, or can take over parts of the operating system, then welcome to the world of VxDs.

Written by experts in the field, David Thielen and Bryan Woodruff, Writing Windows Virtual Device Drivers introduces the concepts of virtual device drivers and shows how to write VxDs in both C and assembly language. Fully-commented complete working source code examples demonstrate how to write a VxD to talk to any hardware device and show the wealth of tricks you can perform with VxDs, including interprocess communication.

An extensive appendix provides an encyclopedic reference for the Virtual Machine Manager, the preemptive multitasking kernel at the heart of Windows, and system VxD services and macros.
