Where to learn about winows.h API

Question

I'm just now learning that the windows.h API can access the console for use with some basic graphics and text effects after knowing c++ for a while now. My question is, has anyone found a place where it's a lot easier to learn how to use it properly besides the msdn.microsoft website? I'd like to at least make the background different and alter the font of text, if that's possible, for a text RPG I've already made.
