Hello, I'm trying to start to develop applications using windows.h, but there no much information except to the MSDN which is not very user-friendly. So I want to know if there is a book about this topic that covers it in deep.
Thanks in advance.

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

>> 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.Quote:

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. ;)
That's an under-statement, anything useless is annoying.
