There is a new series of books on OS/2 2.0 programming coming from Van Nostrand I believe. I have only seen a couple of them on the bookshelves so far though. I still use Petzold's book and believe it will give you the flavor of PM programming. Try to digest the samples that come with the Workset. >I want to write both character mode and PM apps for OS/2. What would be >the easiest to learn first? Any experience/suggestion would be greatly >appreciated! A great reference for character mode apps that use OS/2 kernel features is Ed Iacobucci's book. Again, this is a 1.x book, but much is carried over.
