Which API are you talking about?
Which API???
WinAPI??
If so, then get a good book like Petzold and download the Platform SDK......they will teach you more than any tutorial can
haha - beat ya!
sorry i always forget to say. im doing Win32 API. id rather not get a book because they're so expensive, is there anything on the net?
If you dont want o but a book, then the Platform SDK is still worth getting....it has documentation of all wth WinAPI functions and a few examples too...
But if you want a really good book that will pay for itself in what you learn from it....Petzold is a wise purchase.....
yeah, honestly if you've gotten through Petzold and understand it fully you can use the Platform SDK documentation in MSDN for just about anything.
If you hunt around a bit you can find this in .chm format, hence free :)Quote:

But of all the books on my shelf, that is one that I can say I am very glad I bought
so is this Platform SDK a set of functions and classes that use the Win32 API or something like that? and where can i get it?
also, even though i dont agree with cheating authors out of their money, could someone direct me to the online version of Petzold, so that i can have a preview to see if i should buy it?
The platform SDK is located at MSDN. www.msdn.microsoft.com
