Dan Appleman's Win32 API puzzle book and tutorial for Visual Basic programmers

This long-awaited complement to Appleman's previous bestseller shows programmers how to turbocharge VB by describing how to control the entire Windows API.

Divided into three parts, the book begins with a series of programming puzzles of increasing complexity.

Each puzzle describes a typical API function, followed by a small VB program applying the function.

These programs almost work but are all missing something.

Readers are challenged to solve the puzzle and fix the program -- thus learning in the process.

The second part contains solutions to the puzzles, along with in-depth technical explanations, while the final part concludes with general tutorials that you can refer to for help in solving the problems.The book is primarily for VB6 programmers, but includes a VB5 source code tree as well.About the author:Dan Appleman has been developing applications for Microsoft Windows since its release in 1985.
