Programming Windows with Borland C++
by William Roetzheim
Ziff-Davis Press
ISBN 1-56276-040-8
U.S. $39.95

Also applies to Turbo C++. Chapters 1-3 cover C++. Chapters 4-13 cover
Windows and C++. It covers OWl, but I'm not sure how thoroughly.

From the Introduction:

"This book will not turn you into an expert C++ programmer or an expert
Windows programmer. Instead, my primary goal is much more modest. I want
to ensure that when you're finished reading this book you are completely
comfortable writing, compiling, and debugging a moderate Windows
application in C++."

From "Who this book is for"

"This book is written at an intermediate technical level, requiring some
background in C and a general understanding of Microsoft Windows. The
book does not, however, assume an in-depth knowledge of either C++ or
Microsoft Windows application development."

All source code presented in the book is also on the accompanying disk.

Caveat: I just bought this book. It looks good to me but I haven't gone
into it thoroughly yet.
