Based on my own experience porting a hefty MS-DOS application to Windows
3.0 I'd say that Petzold will give you most of the information that you'll
need.  The book has an uncanny ability to anticipate almost all the serious
problems that one (at least this one!) is likely to encounter learning
Windows software development.

I recently added volumes I & 2 of the MS press books (that come with the
SDK) to my library - both seem to offer little extra basic information.
However, later on when I'm in "polishing" mode I expect that they'll be
more interesting.
