Windows Programming

I went through the tutorials in the previous update and decided I needed to know more about Windows programming, so I am currently going through the book Programming Windows, 5th ed. by Charles Petzold. Apparently it is the book on the subject, albeit twelve years old. I have some reservations about it being that old, but I’ve heard so many people say it is the best book to get. I figure going through several sections in this book will give me a much better general understanding of what I am working with it, and possibly lead to other programming projects.

Windows Programming Tutorial

I decided to go through a set of tutorials just so I’m not working with completely foreign concepts when it comes to Windows programming, since both OpenGL and DirectX use the API. If your interested in a basic primer check out theForger’s Win32 API Programming Tutorial.
