Programming Windows was first published by Microsoft Press in 1988 and has since become regarded as the best introductory text on the subject. In May 1994, Petzold was one of only seven people (and the only writer) to be given a Windows Pioneer Award from Windows Magazine and Microsoft Corporation for his contribution to the success of Microsoft Windows.
