We hope this quick overview will help you get started.  This will fit perfectly in with the Game Hacking Bible, right before we start coding our first hack.

What is the Windows API?
The Windows API is the programming interface provided by Microsoft for interaction with the Windows operating system.  It's a series of header files which expose exported DLL functions to the programmer.  These header files are called the Windows SDK.

So what is Windows.h?
This is a file that includes all the basic Windows SDK files you need for a typical Windows application.

Many people ask "how much of the Windows API do I need to learn"?
And the truth is, you only need to learn 1 thing at a time as you need it.

After 6-12 months you'll have a holistic idea of what Windows programming is all about and you won't be confused anymore.  At that point whenever you need to do something knew, you just search it up on MSDN or Google and find the API you need.
