About this title

Synopsis:

Windows 98 Programming from the Ground Up is a comprehensive book that provides in-depth coverage and a thorough explanation of the Windows 98 programming environment. It is important to understand that Windows 98 is a complex environment. There are only a few authors that are technically capable of producing an in-depth programming book for Windows 98 in a rapid time frame. For this reason, many competing works will be "lightweight" and not actually address the needs of most readers. Or, they will be "compendiums" which lack cohesion. This, of course, works to our benefit because it means that Windows 98 Programming from the Ground Up will stand out.

Review:

In Windows 98 Programming from the Ground Up, programming guru Herbert Schildt brings his expertise to bear on Windows programming using the Win32 C API. The text begins with the basics of Windows 98 (and other Microsoft operating systems) and jumps right in with message handling, menus, dialog box controls, and Windows resources. Schildt covers valuable advanced topics, including Windows 98 common controls, property sheets, and how to program with several new Windows 98 enhancements. This guide delivers everything you need to know to use Windows 98 effectively in C. -- Richard Dragan
