Through a combination of best practices and common debugging and programming techniques - several of which are not currently documented in other books - this book shows developers why the system works the way it does and not simply what it does or how it does it. During the course of this book, readers will: * Learn how to use debuggers as an integral part of the development process iterations * Leverage the power of debuggers to learn system internals and mechanics * Dissect software behavior on Windows using tracing and debugging tools * Apply the above strategies to enhance knowledge of a few key fundamental topics in Windows
