Program Database (PDB) File Format

The PDB file format is a compound file. It is composed of numbered data streams, each of which stores some predefined information about the target program. For example, one stream appears to contain a list of symbol names, while another describes the code and data sections used by the linker.

A special stream, the root stream, contains all the information necessary to locate the other streams within the file.

All numbers are encoded in little-endian format.

Credit to http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=22685 for reverse-engineering an older version of the PDB format, which helped considerably.

Simple PhantomJS-based web crawler library

Using promises in a UI context

The scenario:

  • We are writing a digital textbook-reading app.
  • Most of the time you have a "basic" license for your textbook, but one (and only one) of your computers can request an "enhanced" license.
  • You can only print from the computer with the enhanced license.

The problem statement:
