Windows Internals & Performance

Windows is a complex operating system. To most effectively use it, develop for it, or support it, every Windows professional can benefit from knowledge of 1) how the system works inside, and 2) how to use the available tools to see how it's working and to troubleshoot it. Our focus in our Windows Internals seminars is not just on what the components of Windows are and what they do, but on how you can use that information to be a better developer, system administrator, driver developer, or even platform builder. Various Windows built-in tools, the SysInternals tools, the Windows Performance Toolkit, and the kernel debugger are used to help understand and analyze the system. In short, our Windows Internals seminars are the closest you can get to the operating system without source. (If you do have source access, we can present any of these in a "with source" form.)
