I briefly considered writing for the Palm OS a few years ago and got
the definite impression that one book was sufficient. Definitely not
true for Windows programming. I have a bit more than a dozen books on
Windows programming. I bought each one because it had several pieces
of info I needed but couldn't find in any of the books I already had.
And my books cover only a small portion of the operating system.

In this context, the word "newbie" is useful, not insulting. In
particular, I recommend using google
(
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) to look up
newbie
in this newsgroup. You will find a lot of notes like this, but you
will also find some real discussions and pointers to resources.
