It never fails me. It's written with UNIX in mind, but most of the examples still apply if you're doing NT. NT users will probably need an additional book on NT modules, but modules are not what this book claims to cover. My book on NT modules is as big a this book. This book has what I think are 3 of the most important parts of a programming book: good examples, a good index, and a good TOC. <p> Nice work Ellie! Rating: 5 / 5 I use this book every day.
