Need better tutorials

Hello my name is Frantz and im dead serious about learning win32 api in orther to move to directx. However, Ive already taken so many tutorials on win32, and all of em only seem to teach the basics. What i mean is that i wanna move to more advance stuff but i cant find out a tutorial that teach
how to make a chat server for example. The more complex they get is showing how to make a simple drawing program that draws lines and circles
Or maybe thats all there is to win32?

I have alright console programming skills ( i can make a dos calculator).
Ive got basic win32 skills. I can make a program that responds when u click the left button for example. I also think i could make a simple drawing program after digging in win32 help files for weeks just to find the right functions.
So, these are my skills, and now i wanna move on. So please help by giving me a tutorial linnk, or recommanding a book.
Oh, and please dont tell me to tell a computer science course cause im still in high school.

http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/ to start with. For example, it will tell you that BN_CLICKED is the notification/flag you pass to check if your button has been pressed.

Well, do you need a better tutorial or do you need a better comprehension? It's a fair question.
