Programming Windows 98/NT Unleashed

Rating:
Summary: simply good
Review: It's a book that covers (if not all) a lot of Windows programming aspects in such a "core points" style of explaining things. This book can show you very good way of understanding principles and making applications (Win32 or MFC) as quick as you can. I recommend it for those who wants to find out what at all you can do in Windows.

Review: This book is great at showing you what is capable in windows programming and a little bit about it, however it is not at all comprehensive. For regular windows programming (not MFC), it doesnt even show you how to handle dialog controls. I had to do a lot of researching on some of the topics via the MSDN Library. It just doesnt teach you enough to write real-world programs. I would reccomend it very much to programmers who would like to know more about windows programming or just wanted to write very simple applications. Overall, its a great book but not a very in-depth reference.
