Apart from having to call ZeroMemory on every object you wanted to use, I quite liked Win32. It was certainly preferable to working with (D)COM!
The windows api IS windows, lock stock. It is a huuuuuuuuuuuuge topic.
That said, the framework is complicated enough.Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

By contrast a similar book on .NET would need several volumes if you want to cover WCF, WPF, WWF and all that junk.
Isn't .NET technically the Windwos API, as exposed in a managed way? Is there even such a thing as a C-style API for windows7, or do they actually write large parts of Windows in .NET these days?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

There is for example
One book on NETAPI
One on GDI
One of shell
One on registry.
Threading, mmc, mapi ... the list goes on. The windows api is a vast vast topic.
I agree it's the bits Microsoft want you to see though. And it is API, vm is correct.Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment
