Windows API, C++

I am learning how to use Windows API with C++ (not C). I started to read Windows' doc but I would like a course about it to make sure I understand (I think it's one of the worst API to learn... 😑) If you know some good websites...

It's a massive API. Tutorials would depend on what exactly you want to use the API for

This is my most recent public code with a Windows API call; it's a small bit so if the surrounding code is a bore I can try to separate it. https://code.sololearn.com/cyt3z1m2z69Q/?ref=app line 43 I include windows.h line 60-63 I call the API (to get the file size) then clean up* * very important when calling into the API...clean up everything you allocate. You should also be error-checking. I omit it here because I didn't think it had utility for anyone.

@Jay I knew the first link (Microsoft) I started to read (very well-documented) But I didn't know the second one. It looks cool thanks ! I kept looking for other introductions and I found these links: In C++ http://bob.developpez.com/tutapiwin/ In C/C++: https://openclassrooms.com/courses/apprentissage-de-l-api-windows As I'm French, they are in french but I think you can change to spannish or english (only on OpenClassrooms)
