Review
This book is designed for those who have some previous programming experience
in Visual Basic and now need to explore the windows Application Programming
Interface (API).
This book will show you with the help of numerous code examples, how to declare
API calls, file operations using the API, graphics and multimedia API calls, the
functionality contained within the three core Win32 DLLs, and much more. All of
the example API calls are explained in great detail to ensure that you understand
precisely how each API call works.
Although you can create full robust windows applications in Visual Basic without
the need to access the win32 API, there are certain things that can't be done
or are much more difficult to accomplish without the help of the API. After reading
this book you will have the skills to create more powerful windows applications with
the help of the Win32 API than ever before. Jason Bock's presentation of all the
material in this book was exceptionaly clear and concise.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who wishes to create
much more powerful windows applications in Visual Basic. You can read other reviews
