Windows System Programming - Basics

• 1️⃣ You can understand the core theories such as understanding of multi-threaded programming environment and synchronization techniques.
• 2️⃣ By re-experiencing the theories you encountered while studying operating systems at the code level, your level of understanding of CS knowledge will increase significantly.
• 3️⃣ You can develop practical applications that guarantee high performance by actively utilizing services provided by the operating system, including synchronous/asynchronous input/output.
• 4️⃣ You can independently understand various theories and cases required for Windows application development, including high-performance servers.

Q. Do I have to learn system programming to become a Windows application developer?

Yes, you absolutely must learn it. Even if you are simply developing a GUI, you will often need to have a good understanding of most of the theories covered in system programming to be able to solve problems.

Q. I am a job seeker who hopes to become a game developer. Will this lecture help me?

If you are a game developer, system programming is not an option, it is a must. You must know the level mentioned in this lecture perfectly. And you must study more difficult theories. However, after finishing this lecture properly, you will be able to reach a level where you can understand the meaning by yourself even if you look at related materials.

Q. Do I need to take this course to become a security software developer?

If you want to develop software like V3, system programming theory is essential. Before moving on to kernel driver development, you must know system programming, and if you want to learn various attack/defense techniques including reversing, it is difficult to even try without knowing system programming theory.

Q. I only studied the C language and data structures. Can I still take this course?

Yes, you can hear it. However, if you have not studied operating systems, the content may be a bit difficult. And even if you have studied the C language, you must know the following content.

• Function pointer
• Memory Class Specifiers and Memory Management
• Stack frame designation principle
• Binary file input/output

• This lecture is titled "Windows System Programming - Basics", and "Windows System Programming - Applications" will be released later.
• The course uses Windows 11 and Visual Studio 2022 Community version. If you have an operating system of Windows 10 or higher and a PC with sufficient specifications to run VScode 2022, you can easily take the course.
• We provide PDFs and full example source code used in the lecture.
• This lecture is designed for those who have an understanding of the C language and experience implementing linear data structures such as linked lists . You must have experience using development tools such as Visual Studio in a Windows OS environment . For detailed prerequisite knowledge, please refer to the information below.
  • C language and data structures and some C++ language grammar (you can take the course even if you don't know anything about it)
  • Lecture "Become a Computer Science Major by Memorizing Broadly and Shallowly"
  • Lecture "Minimum Operating System Theory: Learn Easily with Bear Book"
  • Lecture "C Programming: A Deep Review" (Most Important Pre-requisite Knowledge)
