- Programming Windows with Borland C++
- by William Roetzheim
- Ziff-Davis Press
- ISBN 1-56276-040-8
- U.S. $39.95
-
- Also applies to Turbo C++. Chapters 1-3 cover C++. Chapters 4-13 cover
- Windows and C++. It covers OWl, but I'm not sure how thoroughly.
-
- From the Introduction:
-
- "This book will not turn you into an expert C++ programmer or an expert
- Windows programmer. Instead, my primary goal is much more modest. I want
- to ensure that when you're finished reading this book you are completely
- comfortable writing, compiling, and debugging a moderate Windows
- application in C++."
-
- From "Who this book is for"
-
- "This book is written at an intermediate technical level, requiring some
- background in C and a general understanding of Microsoft Windows. The
- book does not, however, assume an in-depth knowledge of either C++ or
- Microsoft Windows application development."
-
- All source code presented in the book is also on the accompanying disk.
-
- Caveat: I just bought this book. It looks good to me but I haven't gone
- into it thoroughly yet.
