Charles Petzold Rides Again (+ praise for Kindle and O’Reilly)

[Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes] Like many I suspect, Charles Petzold’s “Programming Windows” was one of the most important books on my shelves for a long time, and it has been a long time since it was updated. With the advent of .NET many perhaps thought a new edition would never come (or indeed be needed). But a 6th Edition is on it’s way, and can be had for an absolute steal under a very creative pricing structure unveiled by O’Reilly.
