Hi etow,

It's mainly for C programmers but an asm coder could learn a lot of from this book :

Charles Petzold : Programming Windows, 5th Edition (http://www.charlespetzold.com/pw5)

I have to disagree; I have a copy of the petzold book, and the entire thing is a mess of embarrassingly outdated chapters with hastily prepared 32-bit patchwork tacked on the end. It's probably phenomenal for GDI and graphics and stuff, but the low-level stuff is just not there. No Consoles, no device I/O, no memory manipulation, not even a passing mention to 'CreateFile'. It's all just bitmaps and fonts and buttons.
