It's **the** book for hardcore win32 coding. None of that MFC or WPM nonsense.

Many people interested in programming using C and win32 api use MinGW and are on the MinGW mailing list. I've heard (though I can't back it up), that's it's practically the only place to get expert answers on programming win32 with C.
