book/tutorial learning for windows api with C

Sep 23rd, 2009

Currently I am reading this book -> Microsoft - Programming Windows API 5th . But it was released in 1998 . The very first Hellowin program in this book seems incompatible with xp sp3 (it didn't mention something that needed to be #defined).

So can someone point me to a book to learn the windows api from a C programmers point of view ?

Thanks

The Petzold is, by far, the best book and the C code is of course compatible with XP and Vista !
And for Advanced win32, see old Win32 group http://tinyurl.com/cmhb5g
(with Windows source code...)
+ Microsoft SDK
