1. Get the Charles Petzold book - for Win32 API/SDK programming

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1556156766/answers2000limit

Tonnes of samples (not fantastic code - some duplication - but easy to read). Covers all the core Windows API (one chapter on OLE - which is a waste of time).

All the customer comments tell you it's a good book (and I'd recommend it too) - except for the guy who tells you to learn MFC or VB instead

Even if you switch to MFC in future, get this book too for background, as MFC builds on top of the Win32 API

2. In case you move on to MFC later, Jeff Prosise has done the best introductory book I've seen on MFC :

3. The links are from Amazon and both books have discounts.

If you decide to buy online, please use my links from above (normal cost - you still get the same discount from Amazon), but my site gets referral credit.
