USB. Practical programming with Windows API in C ++. Edition II

• USB 2.0 and 3.0 standards and connected devices, or hardware data transmission basis
• Data transmission in the USB standard, ie communication and interaction of system resources of various devices
• Libraries and multithreaded programs, ie detailed aspects of USB data transfer programming

At about the end of the 1990s, the USB standard became established in the minds of computer users around the world and became one of the most convenient tools for them to communicate and exchange data between devices. The number of USB sockets to which you can connect everything - mouse, pendrive, external disk or network card - has become one of the important criteria when buying a new computer, and the leading manufacturers do not think to replace it with anything else. However, USB has its disadvantages as well. These include the need to use more complex hardware and software compared to older data transfer protocols. These problems will help you to solve this book, as long as you do not know C / C ++ in the area of structural and procedural programming. It will show you the entire architecture of the USB standard and the implications of its use for different devices. Thanks to it, you will also learn the basics of the principles of programming USB transmissions using the resources of Windows operating systems and co-existing programming libraries. In addition, the author of this comprehensive manual does not stop at dry listing of data types or functions, but also puts a lot of hints on specific, working applications. If you are thinking about programming data transfer in USB, you will not find anything better!
