Title: Not that good as others have rated here
Review: Because of the good ratings here I bought that book since I thought that Dan Appleman's book was too difficult. To my mind Jason Bock's book is not so good since it is not suitable for absolute Win32-API beginners. He starts with the exceptions, critical things and so on. Often he writes, that something will be explained in another chapter. This is a bad design of a tutorial. He has some good tips and tricks in that book, but if one is a beginner with Win32-API he must read too many things a few times until he understands them. Dan Appleman's book seems to be a little better for beginners.
