Microsoft Press Announces Charles Petzold's Programming Windows 95

Best-Known, Most Widely Used How-To Programming Book Now Covers Windows 95

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--Microsoft Press announced the availability of
PROGRAMMING WINDOWS 95, the long awaited revision of Charles Petzold's
classic guide to writing applications for the Microsoft Windows operating
system. 

Since its initial publication in 1987, leading computer industry
publications have hailed Petzold's international bestseller as the guide
that belongs on every programmer's bookshelf. Dr. Dobb's Journal called it
"the definitive book on Windows programming." IEEE Micro called it the
"serious programmer's guide." And Byte magazine said simply that it is "a
must for anyone serious about Windows." 

Now this new edition has been thoroughly updated for a 32-bit world. It's
written with the same wit and clarity that have won Petzold critical
acclaim. It's packed with the author's keen insights and tried-and-true
programming techniques, augmented by key contributions from programming
expert Paul Yao. The book covers 32-bit programming for Windows 95 with
topics such as: 

* Multithreading 
* GDI and OLE fundamentals 
* Preemptive multitasking 
* Printing and memory 
* The new Windows 95 user interface 

The companion CD contains source code and EXE files for all the book's
programs, including useful utilities that let readers explore and
understand Windows use of keyboard, mouse, memory, graphics, color, and
fonts. New code samples show how to implement OLE support and Windows 95
common controls. A comprehensive index helps readers quickly find
information about any programming topic for Windows, as does the expanded
table of contents.
