I am trying this again, since my last article was corrupt (thnx to Jochen
Friedrich, who was the only one who did replie).
I am going to learn OS/2 PM programming and I got some simple questions:
They might be rather stupid, but you dont learn if you dont asks questions.
1. I have seen that a lot of people is recomending Petzold`s book on
programming OS/2 (I have ordered it, but I don`t know if my local dealer
can get it). What book is recomended if Petzold`s book is imposible to get.
(What is the 2`nd best book on programming OS/2?)
2. Are there someone who got some simple OS/2 programs which shows the basic
of how to program OS/2 (class registering, message que creating and so one).
A program which shows simple line drawing would alsoe bee nice. If so could
they email them to me (I got a lot of space where I could save my mail).
3. I am about to finish reading Petzold`s book about Programming Windows 3,
and I guess there is similarities between OS/2 and Windows programming.
There is of course differences in the API call and the fact that OS/2 is
a much bether multitasking operating system (multi threading). I guess
that registering of the classes, windows, dialog boxes and so on are much
the same. Anny oppinion?
Thanks.
Merry christmas and a happy new year to you all.
