Customer Reviews

An excellent resource for beginners and professionals

An excellent resource for those who are programming in any windows environment and need to refer to the basic fundamentals of win 32. Those who appreciate good material will ejoy this book.

Excellent beginning for aspiring Win32 developers

This book is an excellent primer to using the Win32 API. Unlike the title suggests, you will be able to program Windows 95/98, NT 4, and even Win16 after reading this book. It teaches core API, rather than MFC or ATL. I would consider this almost a prerequisite to learning either of those two technologies.A really good investment for C/C++ programmers of all levels who want to program Windows. Even if you never actually program any of the examples in the book, it will really give you a solid fundamental understanding of how Windows programming works at the ground level, allowing you to utilize MFC and ATL technologies to their fullest.

A Clear and Concise jumpstart book on NT Programming

Herbert Schildt does a good job communcating the philosophy of NT programming. He writes clearly and concisely making this book an easy read. After two chapters I felt I could write a simple NT program, after that to covers each aspect of NT programming from GUI controls to multithreaded programming.
