good windows progeraming books
MFC may be good for shorter Document style programs, and easier for them, but once you get everything established (such as window creation) in the API, you can write it in almost the same amount of time. Same thing with it''s object orientedness. You can do all that in the pure API.
However, the learning curve, I will admit, is much harder than MFC, which has tools to just create everything.
But like other people stated, if you want to learn the Win32 API, just use Forgers tutorial, or Petzolds book.
