I'm Buying It: Raymond Chen's "The Old New Thing," The Book

It's a blog that I read everyday and a tremendous resource to the Old-School world of C++ / Win32 development. And now it comes in hardcopy. Yes, it's going on my wish list and I'll get a copy as soon as it hits Redmond.

More: The Old New Thing : Okay, I changed my mind, I wrote a book after all

A snippet from the Amazon summary:

Chen shows you

What vending machines can teach you about effective user interfaces
All you ever wanted to know about window and dialog management
Why performance optimization can be so counterintuitive
An under-the-hood look at COM and the Visual C++ compiler
Backwards compatibility: What Windows does, and what you need to do
Windows program security holes most developers don't know about

Technorati tags: Raymond Chen, The Old New Thing, Win32, C++
