My suggestion is read a few chapters, get the basics down like:
Data types (int, bool, long, char, and so on)
Newing Pointers\Deleting pointers
Function Structures
Templating Functions
Class Structures
Templating Classes
Read up on sorting algorthms
Read up on structures or containers (Members of the stl)
Then lead your way into Win32 programming.
If you'd like I can post links to some of these, but most of them you can find simply on http://www.gamedev.net.

I've done some low-level assembly before. I was surprised how easy it is once you've got the operations in memory (yours, not the data registers, hahahaha...heh...) I'd like to do more in that area. I studied the 68000.

Hi!
I have almost finished my 2nd year programming with Delphi (or Pascal as the actual language is called) and it is SO easy! I'm so glad that I took the subject at school! I haven't tried any other languages yet, but they look very... difficult! :-?

Delphi is one of the languages I'm currently learning. I've just started C (not Visual C++) and its proving a tad harder than PASCAL but still okay. Programing languages are all the same, once you know one you know them all.

Could you put that into a delphi compiler if Delphi = Pascal? I had a lot of fun writing junk programs in Pascal class.. LoL

Delphi is Object Pascal, i.e. Pascal with object orientated bits too 
Although I don't know whether your code would actually work in a modern version of Delphi ... you'd need some sort of Crt unit that emulated the old text mode functions ... probably wouldn't be too hard.
But, seriously - those capitals nearly burned my eyes Been *years* since I've seen Pascal that used capitals like that, reminds me of old BASIC code...
Edit: Tried it - yeah, it does compile, although I had to take out "ClrScr" since the built in functions don't seem to do that; but otherwise, works fine...

I always used Delphi 6 to do my PASCAL assignments. I'd click File | New... then I'd choose Console Application. And there you have it, pascal. Wee. It's much better to look at a Windows box than a blue and yellow Turbo Pascal dos box.

2nd Year for me too! Never touched Delphi / Pascal though. I know Java inside out though... getting kinda sick of it now!

Oh wait. I'm on my second _course_. The first was National Diploma in Computing (Software). In that I learned the basics of basic and a bit of object-oriented programming in Delphi. I'm now doing the Higher ND (Software) where we'll be doing C, C++ and Java which are basically the same thing so I'm a happy camper ^_^

Hah.. Well i dont even program much.. I cant do anything important with it.. I just mess around sometimes.. I used to be Waay into it before i took a class on it.. LoL go figure.. but seriously its a very deep subject, and you really have to be dedicated i think.

Deticated is right, although it will probally take you a month to get the basics down. 
Has anyone here done much work with Direct X?
