See above. KnR is probably the best choice since it's classic and not much really changed since then.

No. That's the reference. You'll need one or the other when you start hacking Wine. However you need to know win32api if you want to get anywhere..

Read wine-patches and the git history - to see what patches are being committed and which are not. Read wine-devel too see why.

Wine Developer's Guide (http://winehq.org/site/docs/winedev-guide/index)

And start hacking already.
