Am I the only one who thinks it is sad that he is writing a book about programming with C# and XAML? I mean those are great technologies to work with, but his expertise is on C++ and native apps. And we need more native apps, not less.
Another good book for Windows is "Windows Internals" from Mark Russinovich and David A Solomon (SysInternals folks).<p>It's not for writing applications, but rather understanding how Windows works (The Cache Manager section for example)
Seems this is being published later this year.<p>Can anyone point to any good resources for a mostly Unix-based programmer getting up to speed with all the new technology coming in Windows 8 that are available now?
So that means no up to date book on Win32 API even now? I'm not into Windows programming, but from what I know Petzold is the only book that people usually follow for learning Win32 programming.
