Literature or resources on WinAPI?

Question

C++ / C#

Friends. After reading K&R, I decided to immediately try to look at WinAPI. I downloaded the book System Programming in the Windows Environment from Hart. Judging by the versions of Windows that he calls, he does not even mention XP. That is, the book is apparently ancient. not a drop. Even the first code from that book does not compile, outputting a crazy number of warnings and errors

etc.
Tell me, in fact, what to read to get into the topic of wapi programming, and in general, what else to read for a beginner. How, for example, to write DLLs in general, how to use them later, how do people know this, but K & R do not say anything about it. Another good lit-ry was not found by me. In general, help the lamer, put him on the right path.
UPD: Eclipse CDT development environment + MinGW compiler

Answer 1

From the literature - Richter, Petzold, from the reference book - MSDN. Again, the literature needs to be read only in order to understand the basics of WinAPI, much of the same Petzold is outdated, but work with the GUI is widely described there. Richter is already more advanced stuff API level kernel.

Answer 2

MSDN is the only and accurate source for information about Windows and other MS products
