Programming Microsoft Windows With C#
by petzold
same as
Programming Windows, Fifth Edition by Petzold
????????????????????????????????????????????????????

thanks a lot

[Andreas Masur]

Well...the latter one uses C or C++ to illustrate how to work with the API, the former one uses 'C#'....thus...no it is not the same... :cool:

but both are teaching to work with API directly instead of using windows is it???:confused:

No, unfortunately it's something completely different. It's all about C# and the .net framework.

so,
is .Net framework not the replacing WIN32 API
or it .Net simply a cover over WIN32API and the WIN32API still the same????
You shouldnot say so since it can hurt Mr. Qoo...:cool:

Yes...but both do it using different languages...accessing the API is different for different languages... :cool:

[Joseph_R_Thomas]

cool...so which book would you recomend????
whould i learn working with API with C# or C at this age or fast advacement?;)

[Andreas Masur]

Well...for understanding the API itself it does not matter which language is being used. Language-specific details is basically the way of accessing it only...

Thus, if you write your applications in C#, then get the first one, if you write your applications in C++ get the second one. If you write your applications in both languages....well then...probably get both... :D

Actually, I do not know the C# book since I did not buy it yet, thus I cannot say how much it differs from the other one...
