Make Windows work better

• Windows Internals – understand how and why Windows does what it does
  • INT150, INT201, INT250
• Performance analysis – analyze the behavior of Windows with your applications, and find how to improve it
  • INT235
• Resource usage – optimize your use of RAM, CPU time, network I/O, and storage
  • INT235
• Debugging – find the causes of crashes (“blue screens”), hangs, and application failures
  • DBG150, DBG211, CMB221

Make your hardware work with Windows

• If you build hardware for Windows, you’ll need a device driver
• We cover WDM (DRV201), WDF (DRV203), StorPort (DRV251), NDIS (DRV222), Pseudodrivers (DRV205), bus drivers (DRV301, DRV303), etc.

Make Windows more secure

• Windows security internals (SEC240)
• Windows cryptography (SEC230)
• Windows security “best practices”; server hardening (SEC250)
• Forensics on Windows systems (all FORxxx seminars)

Make your code run better on Windows

• Windows Internals – learn how to best use the operating system features; write your code to work with the OS, not against it (INT201, INT250, APP210)
• Performance measurement and optimization (INT235)
• Advanced debugging techniques for both the operating system and applications (DBG211, CMB221)
