Read Reviews for Debugging applications Write review Ronald Oshrin reviewed Debugging applications on November 24, 2012 Debugging applications Back in the day... Back then Windows and DOs left a lot to be desired (and still does!), yet with this book the author presents code and encouragement in helping programmers amke IBM computers do what they needed rather than what Microsoft thought they needed. It's interesting that over time much of what was created by independent programmers has become integrated into the newer windows... an age of innovation brougt about by books like this!
