Cross-Platform GUI Programming with Wxwidgets
"This book is the best way for beginning developers to learn wxWidgets programming in C++. It is a must-have for programmers thinking of using wxWidgets and those already using it." -Mitch Kapor, founder of Lotus Software and the Open Source Applications Foundation
Build advanced cross-platform applications that support native look-and-feel on Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and even Pocket PC
Master wxWidgets from start to finish-even if you've never built GUI applications before
Leverage advanced wxWidgets capabilities: networking, multithreading, streaming, and more
Foreword by Mitch Kapor, founder, Lotus Development and Open Source Application Foundation wxWidgets is an easy-to-use, open source C++ API for writing GUI applications that run on Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and even Pocket PC-supporting each platform's native look and feel with virtually no additional coding. Now, its creator and two leading developers teach you all you need to know to write robust cross-platform software with wxWidgets. This book covers everything from dialog boxes to drag-and-drop, from networking to multithreading. It includes all the tools and code you need to get great results, fast. From AMD to AOL, Lockheed Martin to Xerox, world-class developers are using wxWidgets to save money, increase efficiency, and reach new markets. With this book, you can, too.
wxWidgets quickstart: event/input handling, window layouts, drawing, printing, dialogs, and more
Working with window classes, from simple to advanced
Memory management, debugging, error checking, internationalization, and other advanced topics
Includes extensive code samples for Windows, Linux (GTK+), and Mac OS X

It wasn't given for granted, but the author could have done a more poorly work by writting this book. The reading is quite good. Also, we should mention that the reading list about wxWidget is pretty limited. Limited to this book, in fact.
On the less bright side, there was a confusion of target : is this book an introductory text à la Petzold or is it a reference book ? It can't be both but unfortunately the authors tried. And here's come the notation.
