Haven't heard that name in a while. For me he's the WinApi guy - learned a lot from him when I first started programming.



Still can! His classic book Code is fantastic and has a recent second addition.


Code is a masterpiece.

Anyone here who hasn’t read it should do so - you might think it’s ’below you’, but it’s so well written it’s a joy to read, and I suspect you’ll come out thinking of some things differently.

It reminded me why I love computing.

PC Magazine contributor, for me.
