Check out http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks Descriptions of Books _____________________ The following list describes books available in hardcopy that might be of interest to users who develop applications for OS/2 Warp, Version 3. The "OS/2 Warp, Version 3 Technical Library" provides both guidance and reference information and can be used for OS/2 Warp, Version 3 development. Programming guide information is organized by topic and contains everything an application developer needs--function details, data structures, and message descriptions--to design, write, and build function into an OS/2 application. Programming reference information provides detailed descriptions of application programming interfaces (APIs) and contains remarks and examples to assist application developers in implementing each function. Application developers can choose to order the complete set of books, or order individual books separately. Please note that the information available in hardcopy is basically the same as the information in the online books contained in the OS/2 Warp Developer's Toolkit. Toolkit ordering information is provided after the descriptions of the books in the Technical Library. CONTROL PROGRAM PROGRAMMING GUIDE This book describes the components of the OS/2 Control Program--file systems, interprocess communication, program execution and control, memory management, exception and error management, device I/O--and how to create an OS/2 application using Dosxxx functions. CONTROL PROGRAM PROGRAMMING REFERENCE This book provides the detailed descriptions for the Dosxxx functions of the OS/2 Control Program. PRESENTATION MANAGER PROGRAMMING GUIDE - THE BASICS This book describes the components of a basic OS/2 window application--windows and message queues, window controls such as scroll bars, title bars, and menus--and how to create them using Winxxx functions. PRESENTATION MANAGER PROGRAMMING GUIDE - ADVANCED TOPICS This book describes the advanced features of a sophisticated OS/2 window application--font and file dialogs, containers and notebooks, hooks, Dynamic Data Exchange, direct manipulation--and how to implement them, using Winxxx and other Presentation Manager functions. PRESENTATION MANAGER PROGRAMMING REFERENCE (VOLUMES I AND II) This book provides the detailed descriptions for Winxxx and other functions of the OS/2 Presentation Manager.
