Full-featured programs in C to build your skills

This was my second OS/2 programming book. It is very in-depth, and is not suited for new programmers writing graphical programs with C. While reading, I would read through the thick chapters, not understanding too much at times, while hoping to let it soak in.A good book to have in any case. Would recommend this to a beginner programmer who already has written some PM programs. It is tedious reading, but the APIs are well covered, from the Window (WM_***), Graphic (GPI_***), and Control (DOS_***) APIs. Although it is dated, I had no problems running the included programs on Warp 3 & 4 from the included diskette. I'm sure with enough repitition, this will add skills to any C programmer on the OS/2 (eCS) platform.
