Hello All,
Actually i am new to device driver development and currently i am working
on java,C++,VB
but i always wanted to migrate to this field.
So i wanted to know from all the professional Device Driver developers
that what are the tools they use to develop Device drivers in corporate
environment
like we use JDeveloper and JBuilder for developing Java Applications.
Secendly how to move forward in to this arena i have already buyed NT
Device deiver development from Peter Viscorola do i need to study something
else to make my funda stonger.
Rest Is God,
Aashish

Can you write C or C++ code by hand without using all these xxxBuilders or xxxWizards?
If yes - then this is a way to go in drivers.
Install DDK, use SOURCES file (copy from some sample and customize for you) for builds (you can also use MSVC IDE for builds, but
with additional PITAs, the .BSC file seems to be the only advantage of this), and WinDbg (a very good debugger, free download from
www.microsoft.com/ddk/debugging).
Also you will need to read several books to understand how NT kernel works.
Solomon/Russinovich at least.
Rajeev Nagar on filesystems is also recommended - at least the chapter on general kernel.
I will also recommend the book by Peter Viscarola and Tony Mason, since these guys cannot write bad books

Aashish:
If you have the time and money I’d strongly recommend taking the driver
development class from OSR. I’ve taken that and their file system
class. Of course you’ve got to use this knowledge or it leaks away.
(I’ve lost lots of the file system knowledge over the past 5+ years.)
As has already been mentioned, the Viscarola & Mason book is good. I
also refer to the Walter Oney book and his sample library.
