Books for BC++ 5 and Windows programming
Rob Alexander
Can anyone recommend some books (With ISBNs if possible) covering
Windows programming in Borland C++ 5, or the basics of Windows
programming in general. I am interested in books covering Windows games
programming.

The best book for learning Windows programming is Charles Petzold's
"Programming Windows 95" (Microsoft Press). It's in a league of its own.

I'm somewhat lackadasical about ISBNs, since I figure if
I review it it's pretty easy to get. But otherwise,
check out:
The Windows 95 Book FAQ
VERSION 3.0 IS NOW AVAILABLE! Not only that, but I've moved
the review to a faster web site.

This FAQ is an answer to a very frequently asked question
about what books are good, which aren't, and which to
read. Covers general Windows 95 books, troubleshooting books,
customization books, and more. Also included are tons of
reviews of Win32 programming books for Windows 95 and NT.
My goal is to provide a resource for Windows users and
programmers that will save time and money and allow
for making informed book purchases.

'Teach Yourself Windows Programming in 21 Days', or 'Teach Yourself
Windows 95 Programming in 21 Days' by SAMS publishing, author Charlie
Calvert. Either of these books provides a great intro to Windows
programming (watch for the typos in the program listings however...)
If you've never done any GUI programming before, learning Windows
programming is no small undertaking...but it's also very rewarding,
especially if you write your code without any visual tools! Best of luck!
