Thread: Links for C++

I was wondering if anyone knew any good, detailed tutorials for Win32 C++ development with Borland. Please do not recommend me to MSDN, it confuses me greatly. Thanks !

You should start here.
Nomad's Win32 Tutorials

Then you should proceed here.
Winprog

Then you should go here:
GameTutorials.com Win32 Tutorials

For examples, go here:

Check out the links they recommended, but in the end you'll pretty much need to learn to read MSDN documentation.

Microsoft actually has quite decent documentation on almost all of its programming products (the exception being Embedded Visual C++ which I found several gaps in documentation). MSDN isn't generally the best way to learn the fundamentals of how the WinAPI works, but once you know the basics, it's your single best resource for the details.

I mean, every book and programming tutorial that exists was ultimately derived from that single source; all the information that exists about the WinAPI comes from there first. So you should learn how to read their articles and get the necessary information. If needed, read slowly and repeatedly until you grasp the main ideas.
