        I'm pretty sure that VAC++ comes with an edition of DEVCON.  If
that is so, then you'll have access to a lot of information.  What you
might need then is a book that introduces you to all the concepts in a
logical and non-overwhelming manner (there is a LOT of information on
the DEVCON CDs).  Personnaly, I've purchased the OS/2 Warp Programming
for Dummies.  This book is for beginners, and gives a good introduction.
However, I'm nearly passed that point, and find that I require additional
information/introduction/guidelines on sound (MMPM, DART), graphics
(presentation spaces, bitmaps, DIVE), and SOM/WPS programming.  But the
book is nevertheless worth the 20$ I paid for it.

        Other than that, you have to get a hold of EDM, an electronic
magasine that covers a lot of OS/2 programming topics.
