Solid API programming & what you need to know about graphics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Ensures that you have a fundamental understanding of the language of graphics and then leads you through increasingly more complex graphics application. If you want to learn API programming, I can't think of a better book to get you started.
Excellent

I was really interested in game programming and this book really helped me a lot. I would recommend this to anyone interested.
Decent Book on Windows, Great Book on Graphics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I picked up this and several other Windows programming book a few weeks ago. This is one of my favorites. While the first part of the book (on getting started with Windows API programming) is pretty decent, it isn't as good as Windows Programming from the Ground Up or Petzold's Programming Windows. However, the latter parts of the book, (on graphics), is the best that I've run across. The main problem a new person might run into is that several of the programs won't initially compile in Visual C++ 6.0. The solution is to typecast the offending lines. I.e for the Hello Windows program on pages 112-114, the line wndclass.hicon = LoadImage(...); should be wndclass.hicon = (HICON) LoadImage(...);Other than that, all programs seem to work fine, which is more than you can say for most books.Two final things: This book is totally API programming, not MFC. This is a _very_ good thing as, IMHO, MFC is useless. But if you do like MFC, this isn't the book for you.The second thing is that I may be biased as I've had the author as a professor in several classes, and am very used to his style. Still, I feel that anyone who knows any C programming could jump into windows with this book.
