2.0 out of 5 stars Convenient format, but sloppy and shallow, June 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Windows 95 Api How-To: The Definitive Windows Api Problem Solver (Paperback)

This book is organized into a series of sections that each present a solution to a very specific Win32 API programming question (e.g., "How do I rotate a bitmap?"). This makes it easy to find what you're looking for, as long as your particular problem is one of the specific simplistic cases covered in this book. Many of the examples seemed to be lifted right out of MSDN. In addition, although this book purports to be Win32-specific, in some cases a 16-bit Windows SDK code sample is used instead of a more appropriate Win32 API function. Some of the solution programs contained bugs.
