Yes, there are books that teach Windows programming.
I would suggest you read the stickie at the top of this section of the forums that lists various tutorials, books, and references that deal with what you're asking.
I will, thanks

Until you can build a working general purpose reprogrammable computer out of basic components from radio shack, you are not fit to call yourself a programmer in my presence. This is cwhizard, signing off.
>> MSDN which is not very user-friendly
Once you gain a little exp with winapi programming msdn will be very nice to have.
How much more user-friendly would you want MSDN to be?!?!
Its got examples and it links to relevent pages & requirements for the API being used.
It went over my head until I got some exp, same with him probably.Originally Posted by zacs7
Well, the only other choice would be to have it give dumbed down info that would be useless to anyone but beginners.

It is user-friendly. But it isn't beginner-friendly. It is not a place for tutorials. It is meant for people who already know something about Win32 API.

Not only useless, but annoying.
