Windows 98 Programming from the Ground Up is a comprehensive book that provides in-depth coverage and a thorough explanation of the Windows 98 programming environment. It is important to understand that Windows 98 is a complex environment. There are only a few authors that are technically capable of producing an in-depth programming book for Windows 98 in a rapid time frame. For this reason, many competing works will be "lightweight" and not actually address the needs of most readers. Or, they will be "compendiums" which lack cohesion. This, of course, works to our benefit because it means that Windows 98 Programming from the Ground Up will stand out.
