Windows Game Programming for Dummies by Andre LaMothe is a great book.

Andre's newest book is pretty good too - Tips of the Windows Game Programming Gurus I think is the title. There's also Real Time Strategy Game Programming by Mickey Kawick. You'll need a copy of the DirectX7 SDK also, which you can still download from Microsoft's web site or order the CD from them.

I am an experienced programmer using oop in c++, but have yet to try game programming. I really want to start serious game programming. Can anyone give me suggestions as to the steps I should take. I believe I have all of the math and programming skills required, just lack of experience and guidance.
