| | | | | the library also contains some very useful articles, along with the Microsoft Knowledge Base, which is constantly being updated. | | | | | | If you want to learn more about the Windows operating system, I can recommend Jeffrey Richter's book Advanced Windows, Third Edition, from Microsoft Press. Note, however, that there is no VB code in this book it is strictly VC++ and it is fairly heavy going. If you want to learn more about the internal workings of Windows NT (which is the Microsoft operating system in everyone's future), I recommend Inside Windows NT (Second Edition) by David Solomon, also from Microsoft Press. Note, however, that this book is quite technical and contains no code at all. | | | | | | Throughout this book, I've used the following typographic conventions: | | | | | | | | | Constant width Used for code blocks and examples, commands, constants, data type names in C, keywords, methods, objects, statements, structures, syntax prototypes, and values. | | | | | | | | | Constant width italic Used for parameters and variables. Variables are italicized only in body text, not in code blocks. | | | | | | | | | Italic Used for filenames, functions, procedures, classes, and URLs. Also used for emphasis and to introduce new terms. | | | | | | We have tested and verified all the information in this book to the best of our ability, but you may find that features have changed (or even that we have made mistakes).
