Presumably you know the answer to that?
So I think the question really is, why recommend a book based on C?
Because it's the best book there is on the GUI side of the Windows API. The
use of C in the book is in a sense good because the details are exposed,
which is what you need for understanding. It is however the opposite of
what you want in real applications, where the details just complicate.
