what should I read in Windows [closed]
- by Umesha MS
I think I am asking generic question.
Being a developer in windows what should I read to improve my skills?
Do I need to read concepts on need basis or do I need to read concepts well in advance?
If I want to read the concepts in advance then what topics do I need to read.
(Note : I am a Windows developer. I use c++ programming language, Win32/MFC frame work and I use Visual studio IDE.)
Updated:
To be more specific when a fresher comes to my team I will ask him to read the following things and I tell him that these are very important.
1)C++ :
1 The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup's
2 Thinking in C++ 2nd Edition by Bruce Eckel
2)Win32/MFC :
1 Programming Applications for Microsoft Windows by Jeffrey Richter
2 windows programming by charles petzold
3 Programming Windows with MFC –by Jeff Prosise
For 2 years and above developer I ask them to read
1)Above concepts (C++ and Win32/MFC)are mandate
2)Design Pattern :
1)Gang Of Four.
2)Head first patter.
3)Design princples.
But for above 6 years’ experience developer what are the concepts are important.
