Windows 2000 isnt a new operating system, its an extension of Windows that includes a lot of new and useful features. So, thats how I approached this book. Youll find a mix of development techniques, both old and new here. Well cover everything from working with threads to the latest in COM+ development. There are examples on how to work with the registry, Windows Explorer, and the Internet. Well even do a test comparison of using MFC versus ATL for creating ActiveX components. Obviously, this means that Im covering quite a lot of ground in a relatively small book. Consider this book your reference guide to Windows 2000. No, I dont cover any given topic in exhaustive detail, but you will get enough information to know what to do next. Ive also provided a wealth of tips that talk about places to find more in-depth information about a given topic. The difference between this book and those you may have used in the past is the way that I approach the topics. I tried to find the least difficult methods of writing applications and present them in an easy to understand way. That brings me to you, the reader. I want to know what you think about this book. If there was something you wanted to see and I didnt talk about it, let me know. Of course, I like to hear about the things Im doing right too. If there is something you like and would like me to keep for the next edition of the book, please let me know.
