Could anybody make any good recommendations on any windows programming books. I want a book that has a good reference to the windows api, but also tutorials and examples. If anybody could make any suggestions I would really like to hear them.
Thanks in advance

The #1 book in that category has always been Charles Petzold's "Programming Windows", now in its 5th or 6th edition.

It's such a good book, but I would recommend getting the real thing, "Programming Applications for Microsoft Windows" by Jeffry Richter (ISBN = 1-57231-996-8). The link I posted IS the entire book, but it's 1000 pages and much easier to read as a hardcopy.
I have the Petzold eBook if you're interested. I'll get iago to put it on his FTP.
I do plan to buy a hardcopy, but I do want to preview the book first. gogo iago's ftp!! ^^ ;D
Grab the eBook here:

Great book, looks like a good read through and a good reference.
