The Windows 2000 API suite is a complex set of guidelines that every programmer must follow to successfully develop software applications that run on the Microsoft Windows 2000 platform. This text... This description may be from another edition of this product.
To me, this is quite an excellent library for using API. It meets all my needs.At the beginning of the book, first of all, the author gives an simple review over windows components, and give out names of all components. To me, this is quite important because I always got confused about what the component the author is referring to. I don't have such kind of stupid problem with this book.Secondly, the contents are clear and comprehensive. So far, I can find whatever I need from this book and understand what the author tries to deliver/explain for the function call. What is best is that there are lots of example codes following those function calls. Listed with the function calls, the author gives you what is needed in using this function call and what you could expect for different conditions. Though this is just the basic requirement for a book, the style is neat. The index system is clear and good. One interesting thing is that the author lists almost all the function calls in this book under the index keyword -- parameters -- again. Kind of redundant though, yet it gives another convenient way to look for the function calls needed.This one is the book for every windows programmer. Whoever wants to be good at windows programming, the content in this book is essential. I strongly recommend it to everyone!!
