loginThe first computer programming book I read was entitled Programming Windows 3.0 by
Charles Petzold. This was around the time when Microsoft Windows 3.0 (circa 1992) once and
for all showed the industry that Microsoft was a company with a future. Writing code for Windows
back then was complicated by many things: lack of documentation, 16-bit architecture, and
the necessity of buying a compiler separate from the software development kit (SDK). Charles’s
book tied everything together and solved the problem of how to write a program for Windows.
