First off the term "Resource file" has a number of meaning depending on context. My guess is that you are referring resource script files (.rc) which are used to define menus, dialog boxes etc.
Most people do not edit these by hand -- generally it is not hard to find a good resource editor (most IDE's have one). The syntax is not terribly difficult but generally it is hard to keep track of all the resource names and referances (thus the popularity of resource editors).
I know there are a few places that show a real basic into but generally you will learn more by just looking at the files created by your favorite IDE -- if your scour MSDN's knowledge base you can find a few little tricks here and there but my advice is to find a resource editor.
