Best recent Windows Device Drivers book ?

[Boo]

Yes, there's loads of stuff on the MS website but I like books partly because you can read them without being on the pooter and partly because I just like books.

I know about the driver examples downloads and the CE versions of VS do make it easy to use the WDK but I am looking for well laid out background reading as I often find that you only end up partially knowing the subject if you try to learn it from examples, theory is useful too.

Thanks for the replies,

Boo

WHS. Books? How quaint!

I had to create a Windows driver recently; something I'd never done before, but I just built the relevant sample from MSDN and worked from there. Learning how to setup the environment was the hardest bit - using a VM made it a lot easier.

Out of interest what sort of hardware are you wanting to write a device driver for?

For most peripherals, they go the USB route, meaning it is relatively easy to write.

I don't know of any recent books on the subject. Is there not enough on MSDN?

Hi,

The MS pages for Windows Driver development reference the book "Developing Drivers with the Windows Driver Foundation" (ISBN 0735623740) but this dates from 2007. Anyone know a decent more recent book that deals with modern Windows Driver development ?

Thanks,

Boo
