So far i have been searching on google and haven't fount a single good tutorial which is comprehensive. Does any one know of any good site or book which teaches Win32 GDI?
Petzold (Programming Windows, now in its >=5th edition) has good coverage.
GDI has been replaced by Direct2D and DirectWrite, which are available down to Vista, and substantially more performant and flexible. You might want to double-check that you really need to support XP, which is already past end-of-life.

I found bobobobo's blog to be quite helpful for getting started with Win32 and related concepts.

I want to use windows miniFilter in my project.
I have seen the Microsoft documentation, but it seemed very hard to understand.
I have also read the GitHub examples for miniFilters, but they don't provide explanation for everything, as I want to understand what I write and not just copy and paste. Is there any beginner friendly site that can help me learn more ?
There are not a lot of great resources for getting started on this - no real tutorials or anything. The best sources are the Windows driver samples. Start with a simple one like filesys\miniFilter\nullFilter and then move up to filesys\miniFilter\passThrough to get you started. OSROnline is also a really great resource. And (shameless plug here) I have written a short, 4-part blog post on writing a register filter driver that starts pretty basic.

I am just wondering if anyone know good site/images to see various design of windows phone 7 UI (buttons,background,mediaplayer....etc)
for example for web : we have http://www.templatemonster.com/ any many more site
(i'm not asking for ready made design like web)
i'm wondering if any metro designer developed some good UI and share on internet via website, blog or kind of psd template,Images ...like that.
See the resources provided by microsoft, it is a good place to get started. Design templates for windows phone 7 has the photoshop layouts. If you ever feel like designing on paper, this stencil kit might come handy.

Where Can I learn all the API of Windows ?
The MSDN library is generally considered as the canonical source for WinAPI development.
For a complete reference online, I frequently turn to MSDN.
If you want a book, I would recommend Petzold for WinAPI and Prosise for MFC. Neither is cheap, and their publish dates are a little old, but they're both fantastic books.
IF i may propose a book, i propose you
Programming Windows by Charlse Petzold
http://www.charlespetzold.com/pw5/
the Charles Petzold's guide to windows programming, i think that is the ultimate guide to the Windows API

Any idea for TIPC protocol on Windows systems or any similar protocol which is available on windows ?
Thanks
Arpit
The Wikipedia basically says it's general-purpose communication library.
If you're designing an HPC cluster, take a look at "Microsoft High Performance Computing" in MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa496121.aspx bot keep in mind that API only exists on some editions of their server OSes.
I think you'll only get better answer when you'll describe what kind of tasks are you going to accomplish.
P.S. I don't actually get the point of TIPC, even after reading the programmer's guide.
It seems using the API is not easier then using sockets.
But when you're using sockets, at least you've got tons of good books, online manuals, and easy to use debugging and diagnostic tools.

I have spent most of my development career writing backend code, or front-end apps for used as daily business tools, by at least semi-skilled staff, e.g. order-tracking, sales capture, etc. That those I helped build peformed their tasks well is comfort enough, but I am still seeking excellence in the building of these kind of apps, versus the trendy emphasis on more personal relationships with the UI.
Can anyone recommend reading on this type of application (LOB?) on the web today? Any available examples to study?
I suggest that you read Don't Make me Think. Don't think that engaging UIs are not efficient. I would suggest the opposite.
Actually this answer has many useful links.
