winprog.net has a good tutorial. It dives in fast, and assumes knowledge of c/c++, which I would recommend someone reading lots of before they take a dive for windows API. After that, extensive searching on msdn, is what helps lots. You can get a list of data types, and while you don't have to remember them, after coding a bit, you will get to know the most widely used.
