WINDOWS PROGRAMMING WITH C
Candidly speaking, in my view, if you are eager to make some practical use of C language then windows programming with C is the best option for you as windows programming makes the full use of the language and thus helps you to improve your skill.
If you are a new comer in the programming world then it may seem to be too much difficult for you as here you have to deal with large programs and need to be familiar with a set of predefined API functions to be comfortable, but don’t get daunted because it is not so hard as the students think.
Let me describe the structure of the typical windows programs to clarify the scenario. In case of windows programming, the first thing that we need to do is that we have to create the new window and then we have to register it in the Windows class. Next we have to attach a message loop with the main program to receive the incoming messages. After that we have to define the message processing functions, to act on the received messages. Nothing else is required.
Hope, you got the point that, windows programming is not hard. May be it is true that you have to face large programs, and need to be acquainted with a number of API functions and messages, but here the programming logic is very simple and easy.
