Customer Reviews

An excellent Win2K development guide!

I've been a Windows developer for about 6 years with focus on Win32 API, MFC, COM, STL, ATL, SQL Server, and .NET. I own several books on Windows development including Jeffrey Richter's masterpiece, "Programming Applications for Windows, Fourth Edition" by Microsoft Press. Although I love and cherish that book, I've got to admit that for most of my day-to-day Win32-related questions I refer to Ben Forta's book. This book has not seized to amaze me ever since I bought it some 3 years ago. Specifically, the information on Shell/Windows Services, commonly-used Kernel objects, and the Active Directory is very thorough and yet simple to follow. This is by far the best inexpensive computer book I've ever owned.

Highly Informative

Finally, a easily readable and highly informative book on Windows 2000 development. This book covers lots of basics, as well as very advanced topics, and all with lots of useable source code. If you are an experienced C/C++ developer, or if you are a Windows development beginner, this is about as good as it gets.
