About a month ago a friend of mine called me up and asked me if I wanted to co-teach a Win32 API course at the IDF. We served together hacking MFC and mercilessly taking over other applications for a few years and it’s nice to once in a while get down from the bird-eye-view sort of experience that Python gives and dig into the dirt of the underlying OS.

It’s a 5 day course for IDF programmers who have about 3 years of hands on experience programming under Windows (VB, MFC or .NET) and who either want or have an actual need to understand what is going on under the hood. We’re trying to incorporate a theoretic course on operating systems, quite a lot of hands on exercises and a few best practices that relate to how and why Win32 API’s can be used from within more modern technologies into 5 days. These are going to be long days. Really long days.

They already are, and we’re just preparing the material…
