Why does Windows work the way it does? Why is Shut Down on the Start menu? (And why is there a Start menu?) Why do we need dialog loops, and why are they structured as they are? Why are the rules for programming GetWindowText so odd? Why are registry files called "hives"?
Many of Windows' quirks have perfectly logical causes, rooted in history. Understand them, and you'll be a more productive, less frustrated developer (and user!). Now, Raymond Chen--who's spent over a decade on Microsoft's Windows development team--reveals the "hidden Windows" you need to know. Chen's engaging style, deep insight, and gentle humor have made him one of the world's premier technology bloggers. Here he brings together behind-the-scenes explanations, invaluable technical information, and fascinating anecdotes that bring Windows to life--and help you make the most of it.
Chen shows you:
What vending machines can teach you about effective user interfaces
All you ever wanted to know about window and dialog management
Why performance optimization can be so counterintuitive
An under-the-hood look at COM and the Visual C++ compiler
Backwards compatibility: What Windows does, and what you need to do
Windows program security holes most developers don't know about
C++ remains the archetypal "high level" computer language (that is, one that preserves the features of natural, human language), and it is still used by millions of programmers. Many of the systems and applications of the PC and Internet eras were written in C++. For all that, the language remains controversial, largely because it is notoriously difficult to learn and use, and also because Stroustrup's design allows developers to make serious programming mistakes in the interest of preserving their freedom.
Goals and motivation were some of my major focuses, but after achieving a fairly high level of vertical growth and control over myself I have begun to radically shift my focus towards interpersonal development and lateral growth. This website will evolve as I do, marking my thoughts and insights for where I am and where I am growing.
While you may not have the same obsessive passion for personal development that I do, I hope that what knowledge and enthusiasm I can share from my own research and personal experiences can help you make steps towards making your life the best it can be.
While looking through Mary Meeker's 2006 Web 2.0 Summit presentation, I was struck by the figures on page 19: "Peer-to-Peer (P2P) traffic was 60% (and rising) of Internet traffic in 2004, with BitTorrent accounting for 30% of traffic, per CacheLogic". You can definitely see why this is the case, as P2P is normally used to download very large media files - music, movies, etc. But still it makes you realise just how big P2P currently is on the Internet and, given the increasing amount of video coming onto the Web, how crucial it is going forward.

You can find Prevx1 at http://www.prevx.com/ . Detection is always free, protection and cleanup is on a 30 day trial that doesn't start until Prevx1 actually detects malware (if a false positive starts the trial prematurely then just write to support and we can fix the false positive and reset the trial).
