Alternatively, if you prefer to watch over a 1000 videos featuring a non-standard programming approach and that end up going nowhere, you could go over to youtube and consume the Handmade Hero series...

Sarcasm aside, there's still lots to learn from the series although it does look like Casey's promise of "writing a complete game [...]" might not actually become a reality in the foreseeable future.

At the very least the first 10 or so videos teach you a bunch of stuff about win32, loading dlls dynamically, ring buffers (for sound), etc.

Yes, I actually found lots of interesting stuff (for me personally) even in later videos. Just recently I watched the ones where he introduces OpenGL, and found that quite informative.
