Summary: Save your money
Comment: There's nothing exactly WRONG with the book, but there's no real reason to buy it either. It's like a hardcopy of the online help available with your development environment. If you WANT a hard copy, then you're looking in the right direction. Otherwise, save your money.

Summary: SuperBible? I don't think so.
Comment: This book claims to be "A comprehensive reference for all the APIs". Well, it isn't - many API calls are not even listed.
The documentation for API calls that are covered is even less complete than Microsoft's online help, and while it is cribbed more or less verbatim from this source quite a bit of vital information is missed out.
The example programs are pathetic - they don't attampt to do much more than show what parameters are passed to the API calls.
The index is a useless computer-generated 52 page monster. Look up 'parameters' for instance - this occupies 7 pages with a list of API calls. Why? Oh yes, because API calls take parameters.
The accompanying CD contains just the useless example programs and only one chapter of the book badly converted into MSWORD format. No 'ebook'.
Don't waste your money on this rubbish.

Summary: Must be a C programmer to get any use out of this
Comment: I am a manager of materials and use visual basic applications to manipulate ERP data, I often use some pre-canned API calls and wanted to get all of the information I could about the subject so I bought the bible and found to really use this you have to be a C programmer.
