Beginners Introduction

[Entith]

Hi

I am looking to get into Windows programing with C++. I already know the basics of C++. If you could direct me to any good books on the subject. Any links to good tutorials will be appreciated, but I am looking primarily for books.

Thanks for any help,

If you are going to program Window in C/C++ Win32 API, then Charles Petzold's book is THE Bible. I don't think there's a successful Windows programmer anywhere in the world who hasn't read Petzold. His latest edition is 1999, but it is still very relevant and more or less up to date. In short, you're going to program Windows, his book is an absolute MUST...

+1 for Petzold (though it is getting very dated in terms of GDI)

followed by Richter.

Windows via C/C++
by Jeffrey M. Richter, Christophe Nasarre
ISBN-13: 978-0735624245

or you could look at cross-platform GUI Programming, with somthing like wxWidgets.

Cross-Platform GUI Programming with wxWidgets
by Julian Smart , Kevin Hock, Stefan Csomor.
