Rating:  - Best book on the Win32 API ever written.
This is the first book anyone who intends to write Windows applications should read.
Rating: - A BREATH OF FRESH AIR !!!!!
Obviously the author is a computer scientist who understands what engineers and programmers need to know. This is the internals document you won't find on MSDN.

This book gets right to the heart of the kernal. ... Read More

Rating: - Classic Windows
When you want to know how windows works, there are 3 people (outside of Microsoft) to go to: Jeffery Richer, Matt Pietrek and John Robbins. This book deserves a spot on every serious developer's shelf. It covers a lot of under the hood topics that are difficult to find elsewhere.
Even though .NET is starting to gain ground, a lot of the low level details of the OS have not changed and a good knowlegde of win32 can never be a bad investment.

The book tells many advanced skill which is must in windows programming. The best programmer should not only know how to write codes ,but know why he write these codes. It's possible only when he understand ... Read More
