About Tony Nelson

Me

I'm a nerd from way back. I took apart and reassembled an alarm clock when I was 3, with only a couple of parts left over (but it worked). I started in electricity when I was 6 and electronics when I was 8. I started programming in High School. I built a computer while I was in the US Navy. I worked for the Kiewit Computer Center while attending Dartmouth. I got a Macintosh in '84 and started programming in Consulair C. Other than Programming, my interests include reading Science magazine, Science Fiction, Hiking, and my wife, Holly.

I frequent a couple of Usenet Newsgroups:

comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32
comp.arch

MSWindows programming books read:

• Programming Windows 95, Charles Petzold.
• Programming Applications for Microsoft Windows, 4th ed, Jeffrey Richter.
• Inside Windows 2000, 3rd ed, David A. Solomon, Mark E. Russinovich.
• Debugging Applications, John Robbins.

Also parts of:

• Programming the Microsoft Windows Driver Model, Walter Oney.
• Win32 Programming, Brent E. Rector, Joseph M. Newcomer.

My Windows programming thus far has concentrated on Win32, Windows Hooks, injecting DLLs into other applications, and using window subclassing. My applications have simple dialog-based user interfaces.
