Hee, yep your right govi,
As for win32 books, i have only used 2 and i have a pretty decent knowledge of win32 programming, these are Charles Petzolds one and Win32 Programming API Bible, this is a great book, although written around windows 95 fully documents every function(well most that you will come across) however it dosnt go into network programming... This is a good choice as a reference book after you have learnt the basics, but if you get Petzolds book and read that in conjunction with some web tutorials such as http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/ you should be able to learn enough to go into sockets, petzolds book actually has a chapter on sockets, but its slightly advanced.
Hope that helps,
