Book Needed For Win32 With C++
Any books to recommend for Win32 with C++? I''m beginning to learn Win32 but I''ve only used tutorials. I''m ready to move on to a book but I wanted some feedback before I buy. Thanks!
I own Sams Unleashed Programming Windows 98/NT. Not much has changed (until you get to XP/2000, I guess), and it covers all aspects of the Win32 api and functions. Its a great resource. Also, check out MSDN, I find that to be very useful for many of the questions I have. Hope it helps.

Get either one of these, or both:
Programming Windows by Charles Petzold
Programming Windows with MFC by Jeff Prosise (<- did I spell right?)
My compiler generates one error message: "does not compile."

I deffinately have to agree with the Petzold book. That''s how I learned Win32. If you want to learn Win32 stay away from MFC though. Don''t get me wrong, it''s good for quick and dirty little tester apps. But I''d never make anything in MFC I''d want to show another human being.
P.S. - If you don''t agree with my opinion of MFC, please don''t start a flame war. I''ve never talked to a professional programmer who used MFC for release projects.
