Review: I got this book so I could learn how to get to Windows functions. It divided the Windows API into many chapters then gave example code for the functins in that chapter.If the authors were restricted to 600 pages, they did a pretty good job of covering the important details. The good thing about this book for a student is that the functions from the API are listed in the book. I mean - who has a computer with them all the time? I can go to the library and write code, because I have this book - I don't have to have my computer. If I had any complaint it is that there weren't even more examples. But I can't complain overall - it is a good book for people just getting started with the API

Review: I have owned this book for about 3 weeks and finally started using it. I would give this book my best rating. I had no idea, before buying this book, that you could find / do and use so much of the API in Visual Basic. Pappas and Murray have opened a whole new dimension for me as a Visual Basic programmer.

Review: This book explains the WINAPI and how to attach VB programs to it. I was having a lot of trouble with this concept until I got the book. Murray and Pappas showed me, by example after example, how to write the kind of code I bought the book for.

Summary: Don't Buy This Book!
Review: This book is a great waste of paper. All functions, constants and structures declared can be found in the win32api.txt file that comes with VB. This book is a little handy for describing the what each argument means in an API declaration but it could definatly use ALOT more examples if not at least 1 for EACH function and not just 1 or 2 for the whole chapter (that would actually make it valuable). Knowing the meaning of each argument in an api declaration does not mean you automatically know how to use it. I bought this book to help me out on a project and it turned out to be a great waste of cash. Great reference book if you ALREADY know how to use the api.

Summary: Glad I bought the book
Review: This book is terrible! I am completely regretful of buying this title
