Book Reviews of Windows via C/C++ (Pro - Developer)
Book Review: Essential
Summary: 5 Stars
Richter is _the_ expert in programming the Windows API. If you want to do that, then you must have this book. Besides content, it is well written and so forth.
This may not be for the complete beginner. Unfortunately, I don't know of any introductory texts on this subject. You kind of have to jump in.
You might find Microsoft Windows Internals (4th Edition): Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 or Windows® Internals: Including Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista, Fifth Edition (PRO-Developer) of use in understanding some concepts. But beware! Those are highly technical.
I also recommend Windows System Programming (3rd Edition) (Addison-Wesley Microsoft Technology Series) in addition to Richter. This is a very well-written and masterful presentation of much of the same material, but in a different way. It is amazing how much Hart packs into such a small book.
One caveat about Windows Via C/C++ 5. Richter has to quite an extent lost interest in native C++ in favor of C#/.NET. Perhaps for this reason this book has a cobbled-together feel, like the old version verbatum (which is fine) with some new material roughly tacked on. (BTW, Richter's CLR via C#, Second Edition (Pro Developer) is essential for .NET developers.)
Still, 5 stars.
