Well, I'm a beginning PM programmer myself, and I've found "OS/2 
Presentation Manager Programming" by Charles Petzold to be a pretty darn
good starting point.  I had tried reading "Real World Programming for OS/2
2.11" before Petzold's book, but the latter requires a bit of knowledge of
PM programming before you start it.  It's a good book too, but it smacked
a newbie like me around a bit too much.  

Anyone else have suggestions?  I really don't know where to go from here
except start practicing what I have learned (which I'm currently doing),
pick through the on-line help files that came with my compiler, or get the
DevCon CD (which is too expensive for me at this moment... yeah, I know it
isn't THAT much, but I've just graduated from college, and I'm a bit broke
right now B-(  ).  So what other plans of attack are there?
