Programming Windows 95 (Microsoft programming series)

Funniest Book I Ever Read - Charles Petzold is truly the funniest man in America, I laughed until I cried. The chapter on dialog boxes was shines as an example of American humor at its best. 5 stars Charlie.

You want to learn Win32 API? This Book Rocks!!! - The best book about Win32 programing, get it and enjoy the wonderful world of Win32 Programing!.

decent, but BORING - once u read this, you will know enough to code just about anything in windows. however, let me warn you that this book is extremely boring. very wordy but still a good introduction. all in all, the best windows book i have read so far...

The Windows Encyclopedia - I know this has been said before, but i ll say it again. This is the definitive Win32 API book. I always have this book by at my side as i program. I also recommend this book to people wanting to learn MFC, its worth it to read it. The only need i can find, is a chapter on Common Dialogs. Thank you Petzold, your book will be the one future programmers will have to read to know what programming was like in the 90 s. Most commonly used programming phrase of the 90 s: Look it up in the Petzold.

It s Great, Powerfull and Perfect - This book, shows an easy to use way of programming windows 95. It has allot of stuff on menus, scrollbars, drawing with GDI primitives, writing to the registry, creating DLL s, printing, ole, linking etc.. I read a couple of pages and know that it is GREAT. Although it left out some important stuff like most of the controls that windows uses it s a preety good starter for those who are entering windows programing. I also read Direct X for dummies by Andre Lamothe and found that book to be a Perfect Preparer for this book.
