Win32 Dev-C++ Programming Tutorials?

Im learning C++ and Im using Dev-C++ and Im trying Win32 but all the online tutorials I find (along with the book I bought) mainly talk about C++ Console Programming and not the Win32 Window programming so can anyone give me some good links as I cant ever right a word in my window!

Win32 Dev-C++ Programming Tutorials?
Well, use Visual C++ Express for that anyway. It's much better and it has an editor and such. At least untill you get a better understanding of how everything works.





You really don't need a tutorial on Windows programming, because to do it you should have enough knowledge of console programming just to read the MSDN site and pick up what you need.
Reply:Dev, by itself helps you to get started. Open Dev up, goto file, create new project, and then select create new windows application. That will give you a bare-bones, ready to compile win32 app. A simple window without controls. To understand how to create controls (ie. buttons), follow the links below. It's not really that difficult to get started, only to master.

It involves using the "platform sdk". I've done it, so it does work.





Borland/CodeGear has their Turbo-C ++ ide available for free, and you can do Win32 and VCL programming.
