How to make a start with Microsoft C++

I have recently started learning C++ and I thought I have covered learning all basics. Now I have a job to do over some legacy C++ code written over microsoft.net VC++.

It is not a gui application, it is a service. It has all the typedefs like LPCTSTR, DWORD etc. Is there any comprehensive guide where I can see the usage of each of these?

If you'd like to learn more about C++ in general and don't mind paying a little bit, I recommend Deitel & Deitel.

Here is a link to a Google page which lists various places you can find the same book I used in my C++ class in school. It's easy to understand, comes with loads and loads of examples and sample problems, and is just an overall great book, especially for beginners like me.

That should cover most (if not all) of the defines/typedefs with good explanations.

EDIT: And just like San Jacinto mentioned, MSDN is very good place to get information about Windows development.
