RE: What To Use For Windows Desktop Apps Development?
Cool :) Feel free to just reply to me here if you got questions. I'm by no means an expert, but if you have some beginner problems I might be able to help. For more advanced stuff, there are multiple Red Gitter chat rooms where you'll get help from experts, it's a very friendly bunch.
And as for beginner documentation, here is an overview of what Red is: http://redprogramming.com/Home.html
Here is a getting started guide (just ignore the parts about compiling from source, the already compiled binary version of Red is good enough right now, the guide is a bit outdated): http://redprogramming.com/Getting%20Started.html
And here are small examples that help you learn specific features (with lots of screenshots):

Thanks! That will be more than enough to begin with.
