Summary: Made Easy is the Bottom Line
Comment: This book is exceptionally well written and presents both novice and expert topics using an example driven approach that stimulates and motivates the reader. Both authors stress the most important lessons to learn in each chapter clearly and the reader comes away with expert experiences that other books just do not capture. The examples are in Eiffel which is another bonus as not only do you learn Windows development principles, but you also gain an indepth understanding of object-oriented principles that are lacking in many other languages. Eiffel is not a prerequisite at all as I had not even heard of the language before reading the book, and I would definitely recommend the book to those wanting to discover an experts opinion on Windows programming with the added benefit of learning object-oriented principles at the same time.

Summary: Very good alternative to Petzold's books
Comment: A very well written book about Windows programming and object component technology. The authors are very concerned by making you grasp how things are supposed to work when doing Windows programming and the plan they chose to show all aspects of Windows programming is in my opinion very good.

With the book, you have a CD with all the examples they refer to. The examples are very well done and this definitely plays a major role in understanding all the aspect of Windows programming.

One thing which contribute a lot to the clarity of the book is the usage of the Eiffel language and its Windows Eiffel Library that make you concentrate on the useful part, ie Windows programming.

I definitely recommend the book to all newcomers to Windows programming or people who have some Eiffel experience that wants to do Windows programming. To finish, you don't need to know Eiffel to understand the book and this is definitely a plus.
