Joe,

I would like to recommend another book. While I also have the two
books mentioned by Lance and Cecil, I actually prefer the one listed
below since I find it a little easier to read and learn from.

"Windows 98 Programming from the Ground Up"
by Herbert Schildt
Osborne McGraw-Hill, 1998
cover price: $34.99 in USA

I believe I got it from amazon.com at 20% discount

Joe,

Here is the info that you requested:

The prices above are from booksamillion.com however
most local book stores should be able to get or may
have in stock the books that I mentioned.

See the samples directory under your PB version, there
are several examples of API style programming.

I suggest you start out with Petzold because he does
a good job in the basics. Rector/Newcomer gets down
into the bowels of Window programming. Note that all
the example coding in these books are in C/C++, but
don't let that intimidate you. Translating to PB will
become quiet easy after a short period of time and you'll
pickup on some C programming as a bonus.

I don't know if these books are available in the format
you want, but hard copy is the only way to go here.

Cheers,
Cecil
