Many of you know Walter Oney - a respected Windows driver developer and the
author of “Programming the Microsoft Windows Driver Model” and other
publications. What you may not know is that in addition to being an
excellent author and teacher, Walter is a practicing lawyer in the state of
Massachusetts.
Over the last year or so Walter has focused most of his attention on his law
practice.
Walter was also the key person responsible for creation of the Windows
Driver Developer’s Digest or “WD-3”. Many excellent articles and whitepapers
were published on WD-3.com.
Since Walter is no longer heavily involved in the Windows driver development
community the WD-3 website has been totally inactive and has recently
dropped off the net.
The excellent papers published on WD-3.com have been helpful to many new
driver developers. I think that at the least the material that was published
there should remain available.
So I have worked with Walter to renew the WD-3.com domain name and fetch the
WD-3.com website material. I will bring this site back up basically as it
was before the domain name expired. Hopefully this material will be of use
to the community.
I may “tweak” some of the site obsolete material (e.g., references to
previous years events and such).
However, I don’t know whether it makes sense to “breath life” back into the
site. I’m open to hearing from those who have contributed to WD-3 in the
past on their thoughts…
WD-3 will be back online in a few days. Bear with me, since I am not a
professional website administrator and DNS records take a while to sort
themselves out.
