What are you looking for ... Windows API?
theForger's Win32 API Tutorial
That will get you started...
The really big story is on msdn...
MSDN Library
If It's windows... it's there.
You can use wikipedia to satisfy your all needs or use Brent Rector, Joseph M. Newcomer book which may be useful for you..
Wikipedia isn't much of a Windows programming resource... If you're looking for detail on a particular function, you should go right to the source MSDN... the MicroSoft Developer's Network... published by the authors of the code itself. You can also download the entire Windows API help data base and a bunch of useful tools in the Windows SDK if you want the information available locally.Originally Posted by technoexam
There are a number of good books out there, even the worst of them will teach you something. But it seems most people get started on the Forger's site.
Yah CommonTater... Its true.. But wikipedia helps to get some actual program structures in some case. But as u said, MSDN is more useful than wikipedia.. Thanks..
Do you have any clue of the bad ju ju you get when doing scoop and poop coding?
If I had to make an educated guess... I'd say 80% of runtime errors come from copying 3rd party code into programs.
If you can't write it yourself... stay out of the project.
I am currently consulting, 6 months working out how to upgrade some legacy systems.
I was checking the code during the scoping phase and found code that had been cut 'n paste directly from the web, even the variable names and comments left unchanged.

Also consider using a GUI Library (such as Qt) instead of Win32 API if you can. It will serve you well in the end.
