    API BOOK QUESTION

    I`m think of starting api programing with VB and have loked at the book

    Dan Appleman's "Visual Basic Programmer's Guide to the Win32 API" is it a good book to start with or should I wait for some newer books to come out who will adress Xp´s new classes and win64 or mayby you could recomend some other vb api books.

    regards Patric

    Re: API BOOK QUESTION

    I did not enjoied Dan book (someone else may have found it useful). Let me suggest you to have a look at help of visual studio (you will find information in Summary->Platform sdk->Win32Api) and to api-guide( a free tool you can download at www.allapi.net)
