Here is what people are saying about the Programming Windows, Fifth Edition
5 Star Rating  "A must have book"2009-08-04
- Reviewed By User: A2Q03DES5FACPO
As simple as my review's title says, this book is a must have or a "seriously need to have" if you want to learn all about windows programming.
It goes from a simple Hello world program (but very illustrative since it has the basic functionality of all windows apps) to complex multithreaded ones, an in the middle of it you'll find drawing, sound, sockets and son on.
This is the book I've ever wanted to have.
 
5 Star Rating  "Sweet Book on Win32 API"2009-07-10
- Reviewed By User: A357FA6E6GYA43
I am fluent in C programming but was sick of being stuck with the old command counsel. I am not a serious windows programmer, I just wanted to get up and running writing programs with the windows GUI and thought win32 API would be a good place to start. I have only finished Chapter 6 (~ pg 270) of Programming Windows, Fifth Edition and I am up and running, writing simple apps and understanding the basics. I also found the following web tutorials/links helpful:

I am going to continue to read this book!!! It will also make a nice addition to my programming library.
 
5 Star Rating  "The good old days..."2009-02-27
- Reviewed By User: A1EKXK8Q602IFM
This may sound a little over the top to some, but I get a real wind-in-my-hair feeling when I read this book. It reminds me of the good old days of Windows programming, when all you needed was a good idea, a text editor and a copy of Petzold. No Wizards, no code bloat, no multi-gigabyte IDE doing who knows what in the background. It was a time when a programmer (that's how people referred to developers back then) would put on headphones, crank up the Rush (the Canadian power trio, not the talk show windbag), and pound out C code. The applications we produced back then ran in a dew drop of memory. We knew the how to interpret the WPARAM and LPARAM for most of the Windows messages, because we had to write the window procedures and dialog procedures to handle them, and for those we didn't know, we read the header files (imagine that) to learn more. We knew our libraries. Our code was lint-clean, small, fast, and tight. Those were the days, and we were the modern-day warriors.

This book will take you back to those days. It will show you what goes on down in the engine room of MFC. This knowledge is good to have. The code examples are in crystal-clear C. This can only make you a stronger programmer, er, I mean, developer.



 
5 Star Rating  "Info you wont find elsewhere"2008-08-05
- Reviewed By richard41109
This book is worth the price just for the sample software alone. But even more importantant, it is a provides information on programming Microsoft windows that is not available elsewhere. It only covers the Windows 3.1 API, and is somewhat dated. It does not describe the current .NET development, for example. But even if you are a .NET programmer, there are things done here you cannot do there. Microsoft has hidden a lot of their programming features, and this book tells how to unlock them. This is a MUST BUY for any serious Microsoft programmer.
 
5 Star Rating  "Excellent reference for learning Windows 32 API"2008-04-18
- Reviewed By User: A1WQ2XKPIZSOJI
This book is very well written and the author does a great job explaining every topic that he covers thoroughly. His answers are full of relevant content and he leaves no room for ambiguity. Do take note that this book is dated, but you will not likely find its equal anywhere in its own class of books. If you want to learn about, or become really familiar with the Windows 32 API, this will give you a good reference provided that you refer to msdn for the updated changes to the API which have taken effect since the publication of this book. I won't detail all the helpful topics which are covered as they are already mentioned in other reviews. I had no real problem compiling and running most of the example programs that were contained on the CD included with this book. I used Microsoft Express Visual C++ 2005 and 2008 versions IDE. These IDE's have an option that will convert the syntax for you when applicable. I was not able to compile any of the program examples for chapter 22, Sound and Music. If you are learning to write programs using the Microsoft foundation class library then this book is probably not much help to you. There are other great books available to consider for learning MFC's.
 
5 Star Rating  "Still the best reference"2007-11-29
- Reviewed By twjensen
I bought this book because MS keeps trying to hide information about how to make basic Windows apps in favor of pushing flavor of the day technologies like MFC and .Net. I remembered that this is the huge tome that all the Windows programmers from the 90s used to lug around so I bought one. I didn't want a book that would allow me to write "hello world" and then leave me stranded. I wanted to be able to port games (or applications) from other platforms in a way that will work across the entire Windows family. I also wanted to be able to make Windows code that could compile with GCC.

If you want to make a simple Windows app, or port a basic app from Linux or Mac to Windows, this book is a key component to doing it quickly, with a minimum of fuss. If you want to make a Windows app using Dev C++ or another open source development kit for Windows, this book is a must have!
