    They are both good. Most people would advice you to start with API. I am also uncertain about the future of Mfc. .Net might kill it.

    I don't know mfc, but I would go with api. If you know api you'll understand what is behind mfc

    Start with WINAPI........the functions are the system calls that MFC and other win libraries use........
