    Want to learn Windows API for Game Programming

    My book Beggining Game Programming http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA240_.jpg is based in C but uses also Windows API.

    As I'm about to finish the theory of C I want to learn Windows API separately, because the book describes it very shortly -despite the fact that it is reffered to a begginer- I found the following book but it seems to me like that API has tools for purposes that exceed game progamming.

    Is it true?
    If thats true it would be a waste of time, and i should get a book that learns you API for Game programming. Do you know any?

    Programming Win32 Under the API
