Hello. I am a beginer in game programming and I would need some advices.
Now I am learning OpenGL from Redbook, know C++ and I use GLUT. Until now I did a simple TIC-TAC-TOE game in OpenGL.
Does somebody know a good online book for game programming? What will be the diference if I will use the native Win32 window management, other than that my code will be harder to understand?

I do not know any kind of books online (perhaps you could Google for one).
But you might want to try and get a game engine. It provides easy access to creating 3D objects, walls, collision checking, sound, and other stuff that you would normaly have to do for every game.
Sorry if I didn't help very much but good luck!

I would want to make my own game engine.So what do I need to know to build a game engine, do I need to know how to make a library?

:

Yes--Alot of engines provide outputs to *.lib and *.dll formats.

There is no "right" way to make game engines. Some I seen
was simply "Subsystems", others were based off a "Task Manager".
Others, were just a code library called "Game Engine".

This is a great game engine tutorial. It uses SDL for ease
of use/portability, but should be easy to convert into OGL/WGL.

I recommend getting a book such as "3d game engine design".

have fun;
