Technical Books: Windows Programming
Developing Professional Applications in Windows 95 and Windows NT Using MFC; Marshall Brain; Paperback.Inside OLE; Kraig Brockschmidt; Paperback.
"Although it is outdated and hard to read, it is still the most complete explanatory book. I still recommend it for coverage of most of the OLE technologies although it details many technologies that you may not be interested in. In contrast to Inside COM, it requires considerable patience and stamina to read. It normally takes me about 2 months to read it and I have now done so 4 times (maybe I'm just slow...)."
Understanding ActiveX and OLE; David Chappell; Paperback.
Windows Sockets Network Programming; Bob Quinn, Dave Shute; Hardcover.
Inside COM; Dale Rogerson; Paperback.
"It's quite a good first book for learning COM as it is a very easy read. However it covers a lot of material fairly lightly, and you will need to read more, especially about Automation..."
MFC Internals; George Shepherd, Scott Wingo; Paperback.
"The second book anyone gets on MFC should be this one. Don't know what the first book should be, though."
