api is the application programming interface. Think of the API as a bunch of built-in windows subroutines and functions. All you do is declare them. You don't "change their contents". You should start with something easy, like learning how to find the handle of a window. Nearly everything in windows has what is called a handle. Once you have that, you can do all sorts of things. Change window captions, window size, etc. OF OTHER PROGRAMS. Not just the windows of yours. That is what makes it so powerful. You could even change the program the window is in. I have personally taken the AOL chat room and moved it onto the desktop. And i have also taken Mirc32 and made it an aol child window. (using the setparent api call)

Those are just documentation on API's.
If you want tutorials, take a look at the API section on this site.
