Hi!

Concerning C, you got to read the founding fathers: Kernighan &
Ritchie's The C Programming Language.  Other interesting book, if a
little out of date is Holub's The C Companion, that explains
intuitively and in detail things about pointers et al. that we only
learn after 10 years of C programming. :-)

Concerning the Win32 API, DLLs etc., there's another book almost as 
good as K & R: it is Programming Windows 95, by Charles Petzold with 
Paul Yao.  It was a classic for the first Windows (2.X & 3.X).  Now 
it shows its age, but it is probably the best introduction to the 
subject available.

Concerning Web sites, please take a look at the page Hello Windows!, 
at	
	http://www.relisoft.com/win32/winnie.html
by Reliable Software.  The page 
	http://www.relisoft.com/index.htm
gives access to other interesting things at their site.
