I would recommend 'Borland Pascal 7.0 programming for Windows' by Tom Swan. I have just
started learning Windows programming with this book and I find his writing style easy
to follow and pleasant. The book is specificially written for people who already have a
background in DOS Turbo Pascal programming, which avoids unnecessary duplication of
elementary stuff. Borland's OWL (Object Windows Library) is covered, as well as the
Resource Workshop. The introducary chapters also contain a brief recap of OOP principles,
but if you have no prior experience with OOP, don't worry. Basically all you need to know
is in the book (as well as in the chapter about OOP in Borland's getting started manual).
