Title: In dire need of a revision - no WPF coverage
Review: Published in 2002, this book is in dire need of an update - as the application GUI used throughout is based on Windows Forms, and there is no coverage of the newer/better WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) GUI implementation, which didn't exist in 2002, but which now has since all but replaced the old Windows Forms "GUI implementation standard" for new application development.Petzold's "Programming Windows" books had been the "Gold Standard" as far as Windows Programming books are concerned (I've been using his books since the early 90's, to program in C for Windows 3.1, Windows 95, etc.); but this situation is now clearly bygone.I now recommend the Deitel & Deital "How To Program" series of books, as they have become the new "Gold Standard" for Windows Programming texts.
Is the review positive or negative?
