2.0 out of 5 stars Decent content, but poorly put together, 5 Sep 1998
By A Customer
This book contains some useful information, but it is poorly organized and very sloppy. It is hard to quickly find specific API calls and it is loaded with errors.

If you are buying this for the API documentation, the MSDN documentation is much better. Some of the API documentation is blatantly wrong, and the example code is full of errors.

Overall I was not impressed. This book could be good in the next edition if they check their code, organize the book better, and do a bit more editing!
