The aim of both these books is to enable the reader to implement software systems using the Windows 95 GUI . Library implementing simple programs at each stage.
Chapters end with answers to the quiz and the exercise.
Both books are well written, easy to read and fulfil the aim of introducing the reader to Windows programming. One must take the 'in 21 days' with a pinch of salt. Although the wizards construct the outline code of the GUI interface one still has to enter the application code at some point. Understanding of concepts such as objects, encapsulation, classes, base classes, inheritance, overloading, overriding, etc. is therefore required. Last Update - 11 September 2001.
