Summary: Should get any experienced programmer started
Comment: This book, together with the reference documentation, should get any programmer started with Win32 system programming. There are plenty of comparisons with Unix and this can be very useful for anyone with that background. It is up to date and covers Windows 2000 and give you hints how to prepare for Win64. Especially it covers asynchronous I/O and threads in a good way. The last chapter gives an overview of RPC and COM, but anyone really interested in this probably needs another book.
Rating: 5
Summary: an excellent follow up to a great book
Comment: John Hart has done a fabulous job of expanding and updating his coverage of Win32 system programming. Unique in it's perspective of educating programmers familiar with UNIX or a similar OS, this book explains the landscape of Win32 operating systems, how they relate to each other and what features are present or missing from each of them.
With almost 150 pages of new material, John digs way beneath the surface and covers new topics such as advanced thread synchronization, sockets, Windows 2000, Win64, and performance comparisons of multiple ways to solve a problem. Many existing topics are also updated and have new sample programs.
The appendix cross reference of Win32, UNIX, and C runtime library APIs that was in the first edition has also been revisitied and expanded. A very valuable resource for anyone new to either OS or working with both.
In short, if you are coming to Win32 from a UNIX background this is definitely the book for you. If you're already a crack Win32 programmer, you'll probably learn a lot as well.

Summary: A smooth transition from Unix to Win32
Comment: I recommend this the book to all experienced programmers interested in learning the Win32 API. It covers all the core system services that you need to learn first. If you need to tackle the GUI you can try 'Programming Windows' by Petzold. Of course I'd suggest that you go the .NET route or get a good toolkit (not MFC) instead. If you want to move on to more advanced Win32 programming try 'Programming Applications for Microsoft Windows' (if you can find a copy). To get into deeper system programming, you'll have to move on to the Undocumented/Native API books.
