    Thanks for the reply but I´m looking just for win32 api programming books for beginners. I know that if I search on google or amazon I can get like 3000 results, but I want the correct book for me, and reviews not always tell the truth. Thanks again!

    It's kind of generally assumed that Petzold's book is the "bible" of Windows programming with the Win32 API. I think his "Programming Windows" is in the fifth edition now.
    Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

    Yep. That will give a solid basic understanding. For advanced I'd recommend, Advanced Windows - Jeffrey Richter
