Win32 Book Question
Author
i've been looking at some books on amazon... Win32 Programming
and Programming Windows, Fith Edition.
the published dates for these books are in the late 90's does that mean i cant use these as resources to program under Windows XP?
im thinking of buying them soon so i just want to know if i could even use them. If i can't what would be some books like these (just as good if not better) that i should consider buying?

win32 in 98 is basically the same as win32 in XP. Of course, always check msdn for the latest updates.
The Petzold book is the bible of Win32 programming. It's too bad there's no paperback version available. Consider purchasing a used copy and maybe save yourself $10.

I have both and id say get the Petzold book its written a lot better and as the others have pointed out its basically the "Win32 Bible"

BUT will it work for XP?
Yes. All versions of windows can be programmed for using the Win32 API, but there are sertain features found only on a WinNT derivative(nt,2k,xp....) machine and not on 98, ME, 95.... Just remember to check MSDN when in doubt.
