| Title: | Introduction to Windows as a Platform |
| Authors: | Microsoft |
| Keywords: | Windows operating system
computer architecture |
| Issue Date: | Mar-2007 |
| Publisher: | Microsoft |
| Abstract: | "This guide will introduce you to the fundamental concepts that will help you understand how to write programs that run on Windows. You will learn the answer to questions such as:
How does a computer work?
What's the difference between hardware and software?
What's an Operating System?
How does a computer run my program?
What are the component parts of a program?
The purpose of this guide is to help you understand the environment in which a Microsoft Windows program runs. The way that a program works is affected by many factors including the computer that it runs on, the operating system, and the way that people will use the program. When you understand the programming environment, you will be able to appreciate how the computer interprets your programs, and as a result, learning to program will become easier and ultimately you'll write better programs." |
