I'm going to be starting a big windows 3.0 project in about 7 months.
I have no windows programming experience, but do have extensive mac and
DOS experience.
When W3.0 was released, I rushed down to my favorite computer bookstore 
fully expecting to see books available specific to W3.0.

There aren't any yet!
My $64K question is:  Is W3.0 sufficiently different from prior versions to
warrant waiting for books that have been modified or specifically targeted
to W3.0?  I have no interest in programming or knowing much about prior
versions of windows.  I can wait up to 2 months for W3.0 specific books to
appear.  Should I wait or just pick up one of the many "generic" windows
books that are available now?

Thank's
