Description
WindowsA (R) 95 and Windows NTaA A coexist in many networked environments, and the two operating systems share a common networking API. However, there are some important differences in their capabilities and implementation. Win32A (R) Network Programming shows programmers how to build networked applications that leverage 32-bit features and functionality, covering both Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0. From an industry veteran and a leading authority on network programming, the comprehensive coverage of Windows networking in this book includes: *strategies for building successful applications *discussion of overlapped I/O, I/O completion ports, Windows Sockets (including Winsock 2), the Service Registration API, the Win32 Security API, RPC, and Named Pipes *how to apply the Microsoft Foundation Classes and object-oriented programming principles to Win32 network programming and use them to hide the differences between Windows NT and Windows 95 Included on the disk are code examples from the book: a C++/MFC class library that extends MFC to support overlapped I/O, I/O completion ports, Windows Sockets 2, the Windows Sockets Service Registration API, and related functionality.0
