Query: A Great Starting Point.

I think this book provides good coverage of the basics of windows programming. Some may quibble with the fact that it teaches you how to create resources "manually" as opposed to using a Wizard but personally I would rather teach my students that, and let them learn Wizards on their own time (You shouldn't need a book to explain how to use a Wizard!). My only complaint here is that it occasionally spends a little too much time explaining how to do tasks that are altogether similar.
