Q. Will there be a 6th edition of Programming Windows? A. There are no plans at this time for a 6th edition of Programming Windows. The subject of Programming Windows is the basic 32-bit Windows Application Programming Interface (Win32 API). That API has remained stable for about the past 10 years. The sample programs in the 5th edition of Programming Windows run fine under Windows XP and are expected to run fine under future versions of Windows.
