Windows Live Internals - Contents at Glance
This is my OTAK e-book project for the next 12 months started from January 2008. My vision for this book project is simple as the following:
- A classic and in-depth developer's guide to the Windows Live architecture, tools, SDK and implementation.
- One stop shopping material for S+S (= Software + Services) developers to utilize Windows Live platform.
- Written in Bahasa Indonesia "from, for and to" Indonesian developers and will be translated to English.
This book is inspired by Microsoft Windows Internals classic book for sure. The TOC of this book still under construction but I can show you what I have in mind now. I am open for any constructive comments.
