How do I learn to Win32?

But you can use C/C++ to access the Win32 API just as you do to access standard C/C++ library functions. If you are to learn it, the best way is to find a compiler with Win32 SDK libraries, then write your C/C++ code using the tools. If you like, Visual Studio (community version) is a good choice for learning.

What is Win32 API C++?

WinAPI (also known as Win32; officially called the Microsoft Windows API) is an application programming interface written in C by Microsoft to allow access to Windows features. The main components of the WinAPI are: WinBase: The kernel functions, CreateFile, CreateProcess, etc.

Is Win32 API obsolete?

Obsolete? Not likely. There will always be a need for people who understand how Windows works at a lower level. Somebody has to write device drivers and low-level system utilities.

How do I interact with Windows API?

To call a Windows API using the DllImport attributeOpen a new Windows Application project by clicking New on the File menu, and then clicking Project. The New Project dialog box appears. Select Windows Application from the list of Visual Basic project templates. The new project is displayed.

The generally accepted bible for Win32 is the Petzold book:

http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Windows%C2%AE-Fifth-Microsoft/dp/157231995X

It's not online, but worth purchasing if you're serious about Win32, IMHO.
