Anyone know of a good, quick VC++ tutorial for Win32 Applications?

[Beau]

I've decided to teach myself VC++, and have been looking for quick tutorials that offer a little bit more than the standard "Hello World" samples. Also, what is a good book or two for this?

Are you looking to learn VC++, C++, or the win32 api? Those are distinctly different. A guy by the name of theForger has a decent tutorial for creating interfaces using the win32 api at winprog.org. Petzold's Programming Windows is an excellent book on the win32 api (examples in C, though). If you're looking for MFC, look no further than Prosise's book Programming Windows with MFC. If you're looking for how to use VC++, there are countless books on there...

Take your pick 🙂

I guess I'm wanting to learn VC++ with the win32 api. I'll check those books out. Thanks Descartes.

The holy bible of Win32 is Petzold's "Programming Windows"

The Win32 FAQ is also very good!!

But Petzold's book is a must have....
