I have a question about win api porgramming because I am new to it and would like to know where stand compared to the level of other programmers..

Do you use skeletons/outlines on paper as references constantly as you program to guide you or are you at the level where you can program serious winapi code without referring to any documentation?

My opinion: competent programmers, for any serious work, always design first, rather than code from the seat of their pants. This generally requires having a reference handy to the design as well as a reference to the functions used from other libraries. I grant you that oft-used functions, in their oft-used incarnation, may well just flow from the fingertips. Whether the references are on paper or in a window brought up by a documentation link, they are probably vital. The Win API is not a trivial thing.
