Re: [Dev-C++] Best book

[Santiago <sa...@ho...>]

Hi, I'm doing a deep research on what book to buy for windows programming.
Can anyone give me opinions on these book I found on Barnes and Noble:

Z&isbn=157231995X

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=0FPM8SWOC
Z&isbn=1572316950&pwb=1

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=0FPM8SWOC
Z&isbn=0201758814

Thanks for your help!
