Programming industrial strength Windows Book

Windows applications designed for large audiences, whether for commercial production or for large corporate user groups, need to have "industrial strength" reliability. This book shows how to design production-quality applications that move seamlessly between all Windows versions, including Windows 2000.The author takes the reader through the development of an original application step by step in order to demonstrate all aspects of application design, platform compatibility, usability issues, and the myriad details of error handling and recovery, testing, installation and registry issues, and internationalization. The comprehensive scope of the author's presentation, including details of drag and drop and shell integration, makes this book unique. The demonstration application, TextEdit, is implemented using C++ and the native Win32 API, to run on Win95/98, WinNT 4.0/5.0, and Win 2000.
