5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for beginners, September 28, 1998

By A Customer

This book is excellent if you have no experience with writing to a windowing platform. It is good to have a grasp on C and basic coding experience. The book is well written and gives many examples along with warning tips, common pitfalls and known bugs. The chapters flow from one to another much like a school text book. I recommend this book highly if you want to learn OS2 programming in C.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book of its kind, September 2, 2002

By	Timur Tabi (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Of all the OS/2 programming books, this one is the best. It covers more topics, with more relevant details and sample source code, than any other book. Especially valueable are chapters like "Multithreading in PM Applications", which no other book covers. The majority of chapters covers topics specific to PM programming, but this book is still a must-have for any OS/2 developer.
