Customer Reviews

Misleading title doesn't detract from it's content.

As another reviewer had mentioned, this is not about programming the WPS. It's all about Presentation Manager (PM) programming in C. It covers the Window(ing) APIs in great detail. I found this the better book for me after reading Advanced OS/2 Presentation Manager Programming. Has good coverage of WinCreateWindow and it's parameters. Code seems to follow good form, however, I preferred the form in the aformentioned book. This book includes a disk, which I haven't accessed, as I am still reading through this. This book was easier to "sit and read" than Real World Programming for OS/2. I happen to prefer C and PM, and it's APIs, than C++ objects in SOM. But I guess it's a matter of preference. I gave it a four due to it's great PM understanding, it would have receieved a five if the title actually related to the material.
