You will need some kind of reference for the windows API/Library. 
You get a coupon for the Petzold book, which is good.
If you want to avoid buying the SDK, the three books that come with the
library are available from the microsoft press collection. The second book
(Microsoft Windows Programmers's Reference) has all the calls documented and
is the most useful. The first book is the Guide to Programming and is a general
overview which you could avoid getting (IMHO) by  getting the Petzold book. The
third book describes how to use the tools that come with the SDK (icon editor,
etc.) and is not necessary since the Whitewater toolkit and documentation comes
with BC++.
