What should I read next

I'm 100% sure that people ask it many times in this forum, but i just had to ask.

I'm finishing soon "C for Dummies, 2nd Edition", what should i read next? my goals at the end are to know how to program an desktop application, not a game.

Thank you very much, as i understood i need to learn, C, C-Objective, and no idea what after it. So if can someone please give me the next step after i finish reading the C for dummies book i will be very thankful.

My learning style is hands on experience, i like to read and than write the book's example, so not just reading...
