Title: Need good Win32 tut

I need a good Win32 tutorial... I have about 2 and the example codes on one of them won't work in my compiler and the other one isn't very good at explaining. I've looked on Google but I don't get any good results. What are the tutorials that you guys used to learn Win32?

The only Win32 API tutorial that's remotely good is http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/.

I have Dev-C++... will that compiler work for Win32? It works for some stuff, but for others it won't. What do you use for Win32?

devc++ isn't acuattally a compiler, mingw is the compiler, and yes it will compile win32 programs.

also i recommend 'programming windows' by charles petzold, very long book but will have everything + more you ever wanted to know about winapi.

also http://msdn.com/ is the official microsoft reference for all the functions.
