where can i learn C(or C++ or VC++) for computer's hardware?

[otakung]

I would like to learn how to use C (or C++ or VC++) programming about computer's hardware, such as how to control CDRW, serial port, how to use IRQ, how to know hardware's address etc.
I've search by google but I don't find any good web site.
Because sometimes learning by source code is not enough to understand and edit that code, and my knowledge is too less to understand some codes, so I think articles or tutorial is better.
If there's someone know about this resource, please let me know.
Thank you very much.

Look at this discussion:
Download the book "Programming the Microsoft Windows Driver Model"

This only applies if you want to make software for windows...
