hi well i have finished ''learning c in 24 hours'', and i have brought the book ''tricks of the windows game programming gurus'', should i start on that?? thanks

yes.
just make sure you pretty much fully understand c programming.

just start reading, you''ll probably learn anything you dont know as you go along

you could start with the Nehe-Tutorials, for example..

Don''t know what you wanna programm (I think games)

After doing the Tuts, you could, for example, programming an Asteroids, Arkanoids or whatever-Clone, good tho look, what you have learned

we wanna play, not watch the pictures
