What's a good Windows Programming starter book?

[hylian90]

Hey, y'all. I'm posting because I just got my hands on three Borders gift cards!!

But, back to the point, I know I want to get a book on Windows Programming in C++. Problem is, I'm not sure which book I want to get. So, do you guys have any suggestions? :\

I have an e-book I could send you. It has a couple errors though, getting the popup menus to work there way never works.

Hi,

Charles Petzold(sp?) "Programming Windows 3.1" is still considered the "canon". My friends that program Windows for a living all swear by anything written by Marshall Brain.

Good Luck,
Frank

Thanks for the tips y'all! It's really appreciated!!

I have an e-book I could send you.

If it's not too much trouble, that would be REALLY helpful! I'm assuming you'd send it by email, in which case my address is game_boy@verizon.net

I highly recommend Charles Petzold's Programming Windows, as well. It's in its 5th version now, for Windows 98, but this is fine for developing on Windows XP.
