Just another Newbie

To anyone with ideas...

I am just returning to programming (as a hobby now) since leaving the 
field just as Win95 was being released. 
-don't smirk I am not THAT old <g>-

My programming background is BASIC (QBasic, and GWBasic), Pascal, C+ 
(not ++), and Assembly (Peter Norton's books).  I have only enough idea 
of what API calls are to be dangerous, and have never written any code 
for a GUI driven OS. 

I am looking for suggestions on reading materials, to start getting 
myself up to speed in programming again with the most interest in 
Windows OSes (however suggestions for the Linux world are also 
apreciated, especially RedHat). I am looking for materials that are 
either/both for the impatient (ie "Euphoria Programming for Dummies" 
would be great if there were such a publication) and for the serious 
programmer (ie. "The Guts of Windows API calls for the Overly 
Intellectual yet Socially Challenged") 

Any and all comments are apreciated.
Michael
