I know that many of you will have tried to solve some of these puzzlesespecially the later onesand been frustrated in the process. That frustration is painful, but the knowledge and skills gained should prove worth the effort. Yet even this is only a beginning. New API functions are added daily. That some of them prove beyond my ability to solve will, I hope, increase your confidence in your own ability to tackle even the hardest puzzle and increase your willingness to distrust and take a skeptical view of what others (even Microsoft) tell you. |
