Assuming that you're considering C++, as good a place to start as any is the
article in MSDN "Serial Communications in WIN32" by Allen Denver.
Be prepared for a signficant learning curve.

The referenced article is the seminal source of how to do serial comm in
Win32. But it is also rather dated. Use it for education. But check
out PJ Naughter's CSerialPort class here to make life easier:
