Summary: fairly good content - lousy binding
Comment: This book began literally falling apart within less than an hour of gentle handling. I complained about this to the professor in the class where the book was suggested, and he held up a chunk of pages that had fallen out of his own copy of the book with a sideways frown.
The material on the Win32 API written by the author seems good, though. If you want/need a dry but pretty good introduction to Windows 2000 Programming (not MFC, which is a different book), and can find a low-priced copy of this book, it's still a good read. I plan to keep my copy, but I expect the usefulness of the writing to outlive the binding.

Summary: Excellent book for beginning programming in Win32
Comment: This is absolutely one of the best books for learning beginning programming in Win32. Schildt does not waste time explaining programming concepts that you should already know, but instead uses those to teach you how to implement Windows programs starting from the very basic and then moving into more complex, useful applications ( a short coverage of dll's and writing a screensaver come to mind ). Keep in mind that this book does not lend itself toward system programming applications, but more towards GUI based desktop apps. If you are looking to move into a more low level area, such as writing system processes, then I still highly recommend this book as a stepping stone into understanding some of the basic architecture of Windows applications.

Summary: THIS BOOK ROCKS
Comment: I must have spent about $300 looking at books that basically only copy the documentation right from the MSDN library but can't really explain the code in plain English. This book really shed light on the obscure syntax of the API world. Other books as well as the MSDN library assume that you already know the basics. So to all of you, especially the ones wanting to learn programming with MFC, buy this book before you start losing your hair trying to learn Windows programming the hard way.
