Hi.
What are some sources for programming in C/C++ for Windows?

I mean sites or books that teach how to make simple programs -with simple UI- for the Windows itself, not just command line. (CMD)

What I have tried:

I already know how to program elementary programs in C / C++ But I can't even make a very simple program that can add two number in windows. I want some sources -books or sites- that learn how to make very simple programs with UI for Windows. I know some books for C#, but don't know anything for C/C++.

The first choice is always Microsoft which has the original documentation as vendor of the product.

Codeproject is also a website which has a lot of articles and demo code for windows. It has the advantage that often questions to the code gets answered.

When you want to start for Windows you should consider some powerful libraries as QT, boost or the C-standard libraries. This has the advantage that you may later use the code and more important: the knowledge on other platforms. I have condensed a lot of my experiences in my How to start ... article.
